The following images are useful guides in getting your e-mail program setup. Your program may look different.
Incoming (POP 3 / IMAP) Settings

* ask if unsure of which server your account uses - Port: 993
- Username: your@email.com (use your COMPLETE E-Mail address)
- Password: If you have forgotten your password, please contact me.
- Security: This server uses SSL encryption. Depending on your mail software, there may be a check box to indicate that you use SSL for your connection. However, the location of this setting varies by the software being used.
Outgoing (SMTP) Settings
- Outgoing Server:

(hosting accounts established prior to 2015) or
karks2015.mail.pairserver.com
(hosting accounts established 2015 and onward) - Port: 465
- Username (if your mail program asks for it): your@email.com (use your COMPLETE E-Mail address)

***Note: In Microsoft Outlook, the Outgoing Server settings contain an option that says “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication”. MAKE SURE THIS IS CHECKED.
Underneath that setting, you have the option to “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”. THIS SHOULD ALSO BE SELECTED.
