NOTE: You would only use our smtp.webhero.com setting if your ISP prohibits you from using their SMTP server for sending your domain email. The actual outgoing SMTP server used is invisible to all of your e-mail correspondents. It is best to use your ISP for outgoing mail service and you should contact them if unsure about this setting.

NOTE: each computer must check for messages at least once during the X amount of days period in order for both computers to have all the e-mail. Additionally, webmail will only have access to e-mail that is left on our servers.
