    What are my e-Mail settings?

    Please navigate to our mail settings tool, insert your Email address or domain name and you will be provided with the webmail URL for your e-Mail account@yourdomain.co.za as well as the recommended settings as per example below:

    Your webmail: Please refer to mail settings
    Username: john.doe@yourdomain.co.za (john.doe should be your email, i.e. info)
    Password: Forgot Password? Reset this here for MSP Control Panel
    Solid CP reset password here
    WHMCS and Direct Admin reset password here
    Plesk host panel reset password here

    Should I use POP or IMAP?  Red Cactus will always recommend IMAP with SSL enabled.
