Accessing Your Email Via The Web

  1. Visit mail.lifestaff.org
  2. Login using your user name. This will be everything before the @ symbol in your email. For example, for admin@lifestaff.org, the user name would be admin.

Accessing Your Email Via An Email Client

  1. Open your email client Thunderbird, a free email client, is preferred and the steps listed here will reflect this.
  2. Create a new account. Enter your name, email address, and password.
  3. For incoming mail, use the POP3 address mail.lifestaff.org
  4. For outgoing mail, use the SMTP address mail.lifestaff.org, port 26
  5. You may choose SSL in both cases but you will need to accept a certificate discrepancy sh142.surpasshosting.com and the outgoing port will be 465
  6. In both instances use your full email address as your username; the default removes the @ symbol and the domain.
  7. You should check the box marked “leave messages on the server” and “until I delete them”
