Email Account Setup
By reflecting your web address, email accounts that are set up through your
website give a professional feel to correspondances with your visitors/customers
. These email accounts will use your domain or subdomain name within the address.
For example, if you use a subdomain name like www.yoursite.primeterritory.com, your
email addresses will look like 'name@yoursite.primeterritory.com.
Or, if you have set up your own domain name like www.yoursite.com, your email
addresses will look like 'name@yoursite.com'. Consistency between
your web address and your email address reassures your visitors/customers that
they are dealing with a representative of your website.

Having Trouble Receiving Email?
(Port 25 Blocked)
Sometimes your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will block port 25 and you won't
be able to connect directly to our outgoing mail server. In most cases, you
can use your ISP's outgoing mail server to send email instead. Your email address
still appears as normal and you won't notice any differences.
Note that the web-based option, mail2web.com, works
for everyone. Please try the standard setup first
and only use these alternate setups if the standard setup doesn't work.
There are several alternate setup options, which are dependent on your ISP.
Setup 1 (AT&T Broadband, Comcast,
Cox, Earthlink, Mindspring, Netzero)
Set up your email according to the standard setup.
If it does not work, try changing to your ISP's Outgoing Server and disable/deselect
any server authentication.
We've listed the Outgoing Mail Servers for some of the most popular ISPs:
| ISP |
Outgoing Mail Server |
| AT&T Broadband |
mail.attbi.com |
| Comcast |
smtp.comcast.net |
| Cox |
smtp.west.cox.net
smtp.central.cox.net
smtp.east.cox.net
If you don't know which one applies to you, go to the
Cox
help page and check your location for the correct SMTP server. |
| Earthlink |
smtpauth.earthlink.net |
| Mindspring |
smtp.mindspring.com |
| NetZero |
smtp.netzero.net |
If your ISP is not listed and you already have an email account with your ISP,
copy the outgoing mail server from the settings for that account. If you do
not have an existing email account, contact your ISP to find out their Outgoing
Mail Server.
Click the links for your email program or scroll down for instructions to modify
your email settings.
Note that the web-based option, mail2web.com, works
for everyone.
NOTE: In the past, the '%' symbol had to
be used instead of the '@' symbol in the email address during
account set up. For the time being, the '%' is still accepted,
but will be phased out in the future.

but will be phased out in the future.

Setup 4 (AOL)
Set up your email per our standard instructions.
This may not work as AOL is blocking port 25 for most of its users. Try inserting
smtp.aol.com as your outgoing mail server and then uncheck the box by 'my
server requires authentication'. If this does not work, please note
that the web-based option, mail2web.com, works for everyone.
Ports Used on Our Email Server
If your email program asks you which ports you would like to use for outgoing
and incoming mail servers, the default industry standard settings are the following.
You will not normally be asked for this information.
Incoming POP3 (POP) Mail Server: 110
Outgoing SMTP Mail Server: 25
Note that if you have to use your own ISP's outgoing mail server because port
25 is blocked, you may have to use a port other than 25 to work with your ISP's
server. Please check with your ISP. We use 110 and 25 cannot change them. In
most cases you will not need to change this.
Common Email Problems
The most common errors are due to incorrect setup. Before checking the errors
below, please check all your email settings against our instructions. Then,
check the following error messages for common problems. The green,
bolded text indicates the keywords to look for in your error
message.
Reminder: If your email is set up using your own domain name
(ex. yourname@domain.com and not yourname@webname.primeterritory.com), your email will
only work once your domain shows your site which takes 2 to 5 days from when
your DNS is changed for your domain.
Error message: The following recipient(s) could not be reached:'emailrecipient@hotmail.com'

or 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication' during
the setup procedure of your email. Please recheck your settings against the
instructions you were given.

There are 4 possible problems:
- Your email account password is incorrect.
You can reset your password by going to 'Edit Site' -> 'Domain & Email' -> 'Email Setup'
and then click on the 'Edit' button by your email and enter
in a new password. Please note that your password always shows as 5 stars
no matter how long it is; this is a security precaution.
- Your account name is entered incorrectly.
Check for any typing or spelling errors.
- Your email account does not exist on your site.
You can check that your email address is correct by logging into your site
and clicking on 'Edit Site' -> 'Domain & Email' -> 'Email Setup'. Make sure
that you have spelled it correctly on your email program to match what you

Error message: The connection to the server has failed. Account:
'mail.primeterritory.com', Server: 'mail.primeterritory.com', Protocol: SMTP,
Port 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number:
0x800CCC0E
It appears your ISP (internet service provider) is blocking port 25. Sometimes
your ISP will block port 25 so that you will not be able to connect directly
to our outgoing mail server. Please follow the steps here:
Having Trouble Receiving Email? (Port 25 blocked)
Error message: The message could not be sent because one of
the recipients was rejected by the server. Server Response '550 5.1.1 <jason@supercardeals.primeterritory.com>
is not a valid mailbox account 'karen@carenthusiasts.com',
SMTP server 'mail.primeterritory.com', Error Number 0x800ccc79
Check that you have no typos in your account settings. Also, make sure the
account exists by logging into your site and click on 'Edit Site' -> 'Domain & Email' -> 'Email Setup'.
The other possibility is your domain has not completed propagating. It takes
2 to 5 days for your DNS changes to your domain to update across the internet.
Until this is done, you will be unable to receive email messages and can only
send email messages.
Error message: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the
connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems,
or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'account', Server: 'mail.domain.dom',
Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '+OK 777 octets
.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
The error message may or may not include 'octets' in it. This
error indicates you have received a corrupted email that needs to be deleted
so the rest of your emails can reach you. Or, that you have received an email
that is larger than our 10 MB limit.
To delete the corrupted email or oversized email, log into mail2web.com as
follows:
How to Access Your Email Account Online
http://www.primeterritory.com/hp/doc/168.htm?url=%2F#mail2web
Then, delete the oldest email and close. You should then be able to access
your email like normal. Note that the email marked '1' may
not be the oldest. Their system puts the emails in date order but for each day,
the emails may not be ordered by time of day.
Only if this doesn't work, make sure all critical updates have been done for
your Windows operating system. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.

Make sure you have selected POP3 as your mail server protocol and that your
incoming mail server is correct. It should be mail.primeterritory.com for your email
accounts. Also, make sure you are connected to the internet.
Error message (specific to mail2web.com): Error: Login Failure.
Please check your email address and re-enter your password.

correctly on your email program to match what you have here.
- You have your own domain name set up with your email and the
DNS has not yet updated across the internet.
If you only recently set up your domain or fixed the DNS to our settings,
your emails will not work until your domain shows your site. Contact our
support team if you're unsure of whether your domain is set up correctly.
- You set up the same email address more than once on your site
and this caused a conflict on our backend.
Try deleting all instances of the problem email address on your site. Then,
recreate the account and try to send and receive email. If it still doesn't
work, please contact the support team.
