How to properly configure email clients

Downloading your Email from the POP3 server at LaMarSOFT
To properly POP the email from the server, the email client must pass enough information to the email server to let the email server know not only which POP account to check, but also which domain to check. In each of the examples below, I have configured the email client software to check the POP account named joeuser@lamarsoft.com on the server named mail.lamarsoft.com. You will need to substitute your domain name in place of the lamarsoft.com domain name when you configure your email software. You can use basically any POP3 email client to check your email. Eudora and Outlook are the two most popular email clients among our customers.

When using Eudora, the POP account field must by in the format of
username%domainname@mailserver

To check the email account for joeuser@lamarsoft.com, we would need to set the POP account field to the following:
joeuser%lamarsoft.com@mail.lamarsoft.com

To check the email account for webmaster@yourname.com, we would need to set the POP account field to the following:
webmaster%yourname.com@mail.yourname.com
