We no longer provide email accounts for new customers. You may wish to use GoDaddy or Google's Gmail as your email provider. GoDaddy has 24/7 support and can manage your e-mail and configuration concerns.


For our grandfathered customers, we make sure the POP3 email accounts are working through Horde Webmail by sending and receiving test email messages for each account. Configuring your personal computers and smart phones is your responsibility. We recommend that you retain a PC Specialist / Network Specialist to help, or use a company like Best Buy's Geek Squad to assist with local email configuration. The items below are for informational purposes only, and should not be a substitute for the expertise of your local PC Specialist / Network Specialist.

If you have done troubleshooting and are still having problems with e-mail, even though Horde Webmail is working on the server, then you may wish to use GoDaddy or Google's Gmail as your email provider. GoDaddy has 24/7 support and can manage your e-mail and configuration concerns.

Our goals is to provide you with the best in online marketing, which includes your website as part of the promotion and marketing mix. We do not need to host or manage your e-mail to provide the best in online marketing. — Thanks for understanding.

Your PC specialist, or whoever installed Outlook, may have a work-around or other solution.

Other than that, create a Windows login password and have the user logout (not shutdown) whenever he leaves his PC during the day. Shutdown the computer when he goes home for the day.
