We support email in general only for clients using our Sitemaker (Premium and above) and Journalmaker systems. We do not generally support sending. You should use the SMTP or other sending server specified by your regular ISP. ( Fees)
Email is best created, sent, and received, interestingly enough, by an email program. Typical local setups for POP clients are summarized below. Web Mail is an simple service that lets you read your mail in a Web browser.
SPAM - Sending unsolicited bulk mail ("spam") through any mail server with a return address associated with a Clark IP server can be grounds for immediate termination of your service or for other action without warning.

POP Mail Setup Examples
Mac Users: As usual it's fairly self-explanatory. Set up your browser to read mail from POP server mail(N).clark-ip.com as indicated in your setup instructions. Your user id is your full email address, not just the box name. (For login, substitute a period for the @-sign in the User Name field but not in the Email field). An example appears below for a hypothetical user John Smith, who has a guest domain at Clark IP and is assigned to mail.clark-ip.com. Enjoy!
Mail setup for Mac OS X Mail (Tiger). |
Windows XP Users: (If you're using another version of Windows, ask yourself why. We regret that we cannot help with earlier Windows versions.) We're using Outlook Express's forms as our example. It's almost the same in other mail programs and OS versions. First navigate through the menus Tools:Options:Accounts sequence to list your various Internet accounts. Choose your mail account, or Add to create a new mail account and then click Properties. (We're not trying to cover all the myriad ways you could do this.)
Windows Internet Accounts display. Your account list may show the server name, OR it may show another name you've used to recognize this server. |
In the account,
- set the server type to POP
- set the incoming mail (POP) server to mail1.clark-ip.com unless your service representative has given you a different server name
- set the outgoing (SMTP) server to the mail server designated by your ISP unless you have been otherwise instructed by your Clark IP/Sitemaker/Journalmaker representative.
- under Incoming Mail Server
- your Account Name is your entire email address, e.g., box@server.com, but with a period in lieu of the @-sign in your address
- your password is the word you shared with your representative
- click OK to save the changes
NOTE: Some legacy users may have different data in the fields.

Unix Users: Unix mail service is outside the scope of this document. Of course, if you can't already set up a mailbox, you've probably chosen the wrong operating system. We trust you will enjoy your use of our server. Thanks for choosing Clark IP!
