All remote hosting accounts come with POP3/SMTP service as well as web-based email. Configuring an email client such as Outlook Express is easy and similar to the way you would configure any other email client. You'll notice four separate tabs at the top of the Outlook Express toolbar below (General, Servers, Connection, Security & Advanced). The only section you really need to be concerned with here is "Servers".

You will notice in the first two fields (below Server Information) that you are asked for an Incoming Mail (POP3) and Outgoing Mail (SMTP) address. Use "mail.tuxfiles.com" for both. In the next section (under Incoming Mail Server) you should type in the username and password we sent you in the welcome email and check the Save Password box. Make sure to leave the Log On Using Secure Password Authentication box unchecked but do check the box next to where you see My Server Requires Authentication. Finally, click apply.

If your looking for a more "hand-held" experience, we also have a flash tutorial for Outlook Express or you are welcome to use our Help Desk if you have any questions about configuring your email client for use with our remote hosting service.
