Configuring Mail Clients or Smart Phones
Configuring your Account with a Mail Client
Any device that can connect to a mail server can be used to access your email account with Register4Less. Below we have step-by-step guides to popular mail programs as well as smart phones.
Finding Your Server Name
If you have email hosting with R4L, you will likely want to set up a mail program on your computer, tablet or smart phone. We recommend you setup your mail client(s) with encryption enabled, and configure the incoming and outgoing connections using your server's name. There is a digital certificate installed on each of our servers using the server's name.
To find your server's name, on your web browser, type in '''http://webmail.''' plus your domain name (without the www's). You will be redirected to a secure login page that will have the address '''https://ahs5.r4l.com:2096'''. Your server name is ahsN.R4L.com, where N is the number you see in the address bar.
