Quick Instructions for upgrading from our old email system
There are 3 changes you'll want to make to your email client when moving from our old email system to the new email system.   Before you make any changes, though, first check your email from the old system to get any remaining messages.
  1. Change the incoming mail server to pop.emailsrvr.com
  2. Change the outgoing mail server to smtp.emailsrvr.com
  3. Change the outgoing mail server port number to 587
Scroll down below to get specific information to different email clients.  The instructions are geared towards setting up a new email account, but they can still be used to guide you through the changes you need to make to your existing email account.  If you need more help please call us at 207-778-6798.

DNS

After creating your email accounts and aliases, you are ready to redirect your MX records. Since it typically takes up to 4 hours for computers around the world to recognize that an update has been made to the MX records, you may want to make this switch during non-business hours or when email activity is light. No email will be lost during this transition.

1. Call your DNS hosting company.

2. Tell your DNS hosting company that you need to change your MX records. They will ask for the name of your new mail server. There are two mail servers:

First mail server: mx1.emailsrvr.com

Preference/priority should be set to “10”

Second mail server: mx2.emailsrvr.com

Preference/priority should be set to “20”

3. Remove any old MX records to ensure that email will be delivered properly. Do not remove any other (non-MX) records, though.
