    How do I set up my mail client?

    First: I don't know what a mail client is. Must be software that I install.

    I know I have to install it with this address: www.mydomain.com/mailclient. (edit: I see this came out as a real url. This is just an example and NOT my website).

    I would appreciate if someone could point out the things to me that belong to these words, and how I could get these things working.

    Thanks!

    If you're using Windows operating system, then you already have a mail client installed, called Outlook Express, located in Start-> Programs menu.
    You can configure your POP3 account as described at http://www.inspediumhosting.com/emailsetup/

    I hope it would be helpful.

    I actually am a mac user.

    I am probably riding on a misunderstanding...


    QUESTION 1: let's say my website is called mywebsite.com

    And I choose to have the mail address HostGhost@mywebsite.com

    Where do I put in the name of this mail address, so I can access it via POP or IMAP account?


    Thanks!

    You need to have that mail created on your host.

    Then you should be able to acccess your account from a url-based client, like horde, squirrelmail or the one that your host provides.

    And also, you can acces by loggin in to your account from a mail client from your computer, either using POP3 or IMAP, could be outlook in windows as mwaseem said , thunderbird or evolution in linux, for mac check this: http://email.about.com/od/macemailclients/tp/free.htm

    As I understood, you need to create e-mail account. If it is so, you can do this in your hosting control panel. What kind of control panel do you use?
    FastNext - shared, reseller, clustered hosting, VPS, dedicated servers.

    Free DNS Stuff - IP tools, DNS checking tools, ping, tracerout etc.

    Thanks! (and sorry for the delay of my response).

    Do you actually set up a mail account in c-panel?
