- Under Accounts, select Add Account...
- Select Other.
- Enter your name (which will show in the from field) and your full email address.
- Enter your email password and description (we recommend the full email address as your description).
- Press Save.
- Select IMAP or POP (what is the difference?)
- Under Incoming Mail Server, enter yourservername.bartwebsites.com as the Host Name.
- Enter the full email address as your User Name.
- Enter your email password and then scroll down.
