Setting up your Smartphone

When setting up your smart phone, the information you will need to know is that the incoming mail server is a POP3, and the incoming and outgoing servers should be webmail.yourdomainname.com. It's fairly straightforward, but if you have trouble, your cell phone service provider can help you set this up as long as you have this information and your passwords.
