How do I adjust my spam filter?

Us or your email administrator should have initially set your spam settings at a recommended level for your account, but if you would like to change the settings simply click on "Settings" then "Spam Settings" in the top tool bar.

You're free to set your spam settings as you wish but it's recommended you turn Spam filtering on, select "Mark Subject with [Spam}," and set strength to "very low."  Remember to press the OK button after you make the changes. Also, please insure that you add to your white list any email addresses or domains from which you anticipate receiving regular correspondence.

You'll want to periodically look at your bulk mail folder and open any emails that are not spam, then select the "mark as not spam" button. You can also manually add email addresses to your white list. You can also administer any unwanted emails you receive in your main folder by pressing the "mark as spam" button at the top of the message.

How many email messages can I receive per day?

There is no limit on the number of email messages you can receive. The 250 daily relays only pertain to email messages that you send. The only restriction on your incoming mail is the amount of storage space you have available, depending on the type of email account you purchased.

What is the maximum attachment size I can send through my email account?

The maximum total message size for an email message sent using SMTP is 30MB. There is no constraint on the size of file attachments as long as the total message size does not exceed the 30MB limit.

Help, I can't get my email to work using Microsoft Outlook or another POP email client.

You can access your email on the web but are unable to access it using a POP client. Here are the steps to take:

1. Did you change your password?

If so, you need to let us know that you reset your password so we can update the outgoing mail server. We don't need to know what your new password is, just that you've reset it. Either contact our main number or call our 24 hour help desk. Note: You will need to have the pin number for your company's account when calling the 24 hour help desk. If you don't have your PIN number please call us at 801.416.0660 or contact us via email.

2. Verify your Outlook or other POP client settings.

When you set up your Outlook account, you entered specific settings for your servers, user information, and port settings. If these settings are not accurate, your account will not work properly.

To Access Your Outlook Account Settings

  1. Log in to Outlook.
  2. From the Tools menu, select Email Accounts.
  3. Select View or change existing email accounts and click Next.
  4. Select the account you want to change and click Change.
  5. In the Internet settings window, verify that the following fields are correct.
    Logon Information
    User Name: Your full email address
    Password: Matches your email account password
    Server Information
    Incoming mail server(POP3): pop.secureserver.net
    Outgoing mail server(SMTP): smtpout.secureserver.net
    Server Port Numbers (Advanced Settings)
    Incoming server(POP3): 110
    Outgoing server(SMTP): 25, 3535, or 80. NOTE: Some internet service providers (ISP) employ a firewall that prevents relays from using port 25. If your account is not working, try one of these other port numbers. If none of these works, you might have to use your ISP's outgoing server.

3. Check your Firewall and Antivirus settings.

Some firewall and antivirus security settings might prevent Outlook from working properly. You may have to allow pop-ups from Outlook, adjust your site blocker settings, or change other settings. Contact your company's IT manager or contractor to try changing your security settings to allow emails to be sent and received.

4. If you've Contact our 24 hour tech support line.

You'll need your company's call in PIN number: 480.624.2500

If you don't have your PIN number please call us at 801.416.0660

It's important to understand that all we will be able to do is verify that the email account is operating properly and that we can access your email using a POP account.

5. Contact your company's IT department, operating system and application software support contractor or vendor, and/or ISP.

If we verify your email account is operating correctly and accessible on our servers then the issue has to lie with your application software, operating system, LAN, firewall, ISP or some other configuration or setting in the POP process on your end. We will provide information and data to assist your support but since we do not manage those assets, we are unable to provide expert insight and resolution paths.
