  3. Click the Accounts link
  4. Select the Mail tab
  5. Click the Add button

  8. Click the Next button
  9. In the field to the right of E-mail Address, type the full email address including the domain name.
  10. Click the Next button
  11. For the Incoming and Outgoing servers, put mail.yourdomain.com or your server's IP address.
