Setting Up Outlook to Retrieve Mail

To set up Outlook to retrieve mail from your website (mailserver), click the title of this posting to go to our help page. The instructions assume you already have an Outlook default email account set up that sends and retrieves mail from your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

The goal of these instructions is for you to be able to retrieve mail from our mailserver rather than having it forwarded to your ISP email address.

The benefit of doing this is that our spam filter has a chance to do its work if you leave mail on it until retrieved. This is not the case if your mail is automatically forwarded to your ISP email address.

Click the title above to see the instructions with screen shots.

SEO - and Vanity

It's probably human nature to make your website the starting page for Internet Explorer or Firefox, etc. But that really skews your statistics.

If you go to your home page 5 times a day, that's 150 "visitors" that show up every month in your website's statistics that aren't the kind of visitors you're interested in.

So, as much as you may love looking at your creation, I recommend only visiting your own website when you must. And when you do need to or just want to look at it, try going to Google and searching for it with one of the terms which you think will put you high on the list. It's a great, fast way to see how well you're doing. Or not.
