Here is what you need to know:

The Basics

These are the settings you will need to get your S2KI email with POP or IMAP. They are the same for all email clients so I'll go over them first.

POP/POP3 (For Receiving/Incoming Mail)

POP Server: mail.s2ki.com
POP Port: 110 (standard default port)
POP Username: youraccount@s2ki.com (the @s2ki.com part is essential just like for webmail)
POP Password: your_email_password

IMAP/IMAP4 (For Receiving/Incoming Mail)

IMAP Server: mail.s2ki.com
IMAP Port: 143 (standard default port)
IMAP Username: same as for POP
IMAP Password: same as for POP
IMAP Root Folder: none or blank
IMAP Folder Prefix: none or blank

SMTP (For Sending/Outgoing Mail)

SMTP Server: mail.s2ki.com
SMTP Port: 587 (the default port 25 will also work but your sent email will go through the SPAM and Virus scanner before being sent and may be blocked by your ISP. Use 587 to bypass the SPAM scanner and any SMTP port blocking your ISP may use)
SMTP Authentication: Yes
SMTP Authentication Type: Password/Plain
SMTP Username: same as for POP
SMTP Password: same as for POP

Outlook Express

1. Choose Accounts... from the Tools menu

2. Click "Add >", choose "Mail..."

3. For Display Name enter your Real Name, click "Next >"

4. For Email Address enter your full s2ki email address

5. Choose POP3 or IMAP, enter mail.s2ki.com for both the incoming and outgoing sever

6. For Account name enter your full s2ki.com email address (foo@s2ki.com) and your email password. Uncheck the SPA option box.

7. Once your account setup is complete you return to the "Internet Accounts" window. Click the "Mail" Tab and locate the mail.s2ki.com entry. Click it then then click "Properties".

8. Click the "Servers" Tab.

9. Check the "My server requires authentication" option box.

10. Click the "Advanced" tab.

11. For Outgoing mail SMTP port replace 25 with 587.

12. Click "OK" and then "Close".
