| Why can't I send emails?1) First of all make sure that you are connected to the Internet.
Try to connect to one of your favorite websites. If you can't connect, make sure that your cables are plugged in, or that your wireless connection is working. If you still can't connect, then you should contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for further assistance.
2) If you can receive emails, but not send emails, you must make sure that the Outgoing mail server (SMTP server) has been setup correctly.
Emails are sent through your ISP's mail server. Therefore your ISP's SMTP server must be entered in your mail client. Please note that some SMTP servers require username and password. If you do not know username and password, you must contact your Internet Service Provider for assistance.
3) Your ISP, e.g. TDC, may have blocked you from sending email from your own domain. The solution is to use your own domain name as SMTP server instead.
SMTP server: mail.yourname.dk
Port: 366
"Yourname" of course has to be exchanged for your real domain name hosted by Domainbox.
Alternatively you can use mail.domain-box.dk as the outgoing mail server.
Setup example in Outlook 2007 (other mail clients have similar account settings):

Additional settings are selected and the tab Advanced. The port for the outgoing server is changed from 25 to 366.

You then select OK and Test account settings. If the test is successful, you should be able to send mail. | How do I set up an email account?For you to send and receive e-mails, there are some settings you must put up in your mail program.
POP3/IMAP (incoming): For Incoming mail server (POP3/IMAP), enter mail.yourname.com. "yourname.com" must be replaced with your domainname. (Alternatively "mail.domain-box.dk" can be used)
SMTP (outgoing): In most cases, use your Internet suppliers's SMTP server.
Username / Account Name: Your email address
Password: The password you selected when you created your email account. For your administrator account you must use the password you got, when you purchased your web/mail hosting | How do I set up Microsoft Outlook 2007?1) First open Outlook 2007.

De følgende oplysninger skal bruges under opsætningen:
- E-mail-adresse
- Adgangskode
- Brugernavn
- Navn på mailserveren
Hvis din e-mail-adresse fx er test@domænenavn.dk, vil dit brugernavn være "test" og navnet på mailserveren vil være "mail.domænenavn.dk" (uden gåseøjne).
Vigtigt: Hvis din e-mail-adresse er på et andet domæne end mailserveren (fx test@mitdomæne.dk på serveren mail.domænenavn.dk), skal du bruge hele e-mail-adressen som brugernavn. Dette er dog normalt ikke tilfældet.
