Configuring your client for secure email
To securely view your email, you must configure your email client to connect securely to the email servers. Regardless of which client you use, the setup is similar.

• Change both the incoming and outgoing email servers to the following:

Incoming email server (e.g. POP3): securemail.megamailservers.com
Outgoing email server (e.g. SMTP): securemail.megamailservers.com

• If your email client asks you which server ports to use, select or use the default ports suggested by the client.
• There is also an advanced setting you need to use or select that reads something like "this server requires a secure connection (SSL)". This option needs to be used or selected, and can usually be found on the same screen/tab as the port settings, however you may have to search for it.
• The rest of your settings (i.e. username, password, etc.) remain the same.
