Ubiquity supports several forms of email on all of our web hosting plans.  This includes:

* <b>POP3/SMTP</b>  (which you can set in your client to download/clear all messages from the server)
* <b>IMAP</b>  (which can be used to 'sync' with the server, leaving all messages there in case you float between computers)
* <b>Webmail</b>  (using Horde or Squirrelmail, which you can check via your web browser)


=== How to create and use email accounts ===

* You can create as many email accounts @yourdomain.com as you like by logging in to [[cPanel]]
* The password to any email accounts can be reset at any time by this same control panel
* Auto-responders, forwarders, and spam settings, can all also be maintained in [[cPanel]] to your liking.


=== How to Configure your Email Client ===

Any email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, should work just fine in checking your Ubiquity email.   Server settings will be as follows.
<br />
 <b>Server/Hostname: </b>  yourdomain.com   (or the IP address from your welcome email)
 <b>Server Type:</b>  POP3/SMTP or IMAP   (see above if you have decided which one you'd prefer yet)
 <b>Port:</b>   (leave the default on whichever you choose)
 <b>Email Address:</b>   (created in your control panel - see below if you have done that yet)
 <b>Password:</b>   (created in your control panel - see below if you have done that yet)
<br />
And that should be it.  If you're having problems - there are two varieties of error your email client may return.  Those are either an <b>Authentication</b> error, or a <b>Connection</b> error.  Depending on which type of error that may come back, you should know if the problem is the server/hostname you entered (connection), or the username/password you entered (authentication).   This will tell you what settings you need to double check (and if it's in doubt about your email password, it never hurts anything to reset that password).
