To set up to send email - use your ISP for sending. You would still use your email for a return address - but their SMTP server to actually send it. So - yes - you are sending through one server and receiving it through another - but it actually works.

For sending email we support authenticated SMTP. That means that you need a username and password to send email through our servers. Te username and password are the same as the ones you use to receive your email. We support SSL and TLS encrypted connections so if you have the option to use encryption, I suggest you turn it on.

Email Client Setup

Our email systems work with a variety of email clients and operating systems. All you have to do is talk to it using standard email protocols. We support IMAP, and POP and we support encrypted secure protocols. The basic configuration to RECEIVE email is: 

Mail Server - mail.ctyme.com
User - you@domain.com - IMPORTANT - User name must include your domain, not just your name.
Password - your password

For sending email we support authenticated SMTP. That means that you need a username and password to send email through our servers. Te username and password are the same as the ones you use to receive your email. We support SSL and TLS encrypted connections so if you have the option to use encryption, I suggest you turn it on.

We support both POP and IMAP connections. IMAP is newer and far more powerful than POP.
