Before you begin

With your MesArt account, you get an e-mail account, yourname@yourdomain.com (if you don't own a domain, yourname@mesart.com). We can also forward the mail sent to this address to any other email address of your choice; for example, to your account at Hotmail, Yahoo!, or Google Mail, or an email account at your Internet Service Provider (AOL, Earthlink and the like).

To set up mail forwarding

Make a request to set up email forwarding to your another email address, such as the address at your Internet Service Provider. The mail to yourname@yourdomain.com (or yourname@mesart.com) will be automatically forwarded to that email address.

To set up a new MesArt email account

  • Send us a request to create a POP3 email account (yourname@yourdomain.com or yourname@mesart.com).
  • We will provide you with username and password for the new email account.
  • Here is the information you need to enter into your mail program:
Your username: (we will provide)

Your password: (we will provide)

Incoming (POP3) mail server: mail.mesart.com
Outgoing (smtp) mail server: smtp.mesart.com

Please note that both incoming and outgoing mail servers require your username and password. The outgoing server uses the same settings (username and password) as the incoming server.

To ensure password authentication is selected for the outgoing server, check account properties in your mail program. Here is how to find the required option in your account properties:

Outlook Express: <Account Properties>: Servers: Outgoing Mail Server: My server requires authentication
Outlook: <Account Properties>: More Settings: Outgoing Server: My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication
Mac OS X Mail: <Account Properties>: Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): Server Settings: Authentication: Password
Entourage: <Account Properties>: Sending Mail: SMTP Server: Advanced Options: SMTP server requires authentication

Now your email is set up! The quota on a email box is 30 MB. Attachment limit is 10 MB.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or difficulties.
