You can use email programs such as Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or any other mail program that's installed on your computer to check email. Configure your email software using the following general settings:

Sample customer:
John Doe | Domain Name - mydomain.com | Email Address - johndoe@mydomain.com

Email Software Settings: Sample Customer
POP3 Server (incoming mail): pop.[yourdomainname] pop.mydomain.com
SMTP Server (outgoing mail): pop.[yourdomainname] pop.mydomain.com
Login Name (Account Name): [user]@[yourdomainname] johndoe@mydomain.com
Require Authentication: Selected Selected

Replace [yourdomainname] with your actual domain name.
Replace [user] with the name that appears to the left of the @ sign in your email address.

You can get additional information, specific to the software program that you are using, from the software company's Help menu or web site.
