Thanks for getting in touch with us! For your privacy and security, I edited the URL you provided to remove the numbers. Just remember to replace '###' with the actual numbers associated with your server.


First, I wanted to warn you in advance that not everything you are going to try and do with email is going to respond well to a temporary domain. You will always be able to log in to your webmail with http://biz###.inmotionhosting.com/webmail but certain programs will require a 'real' email address (with a valid domain) to function. That does not change the settings you need to enter, but I just wanted you to be aware of possible issues!

Our Getting Started Guide for email has links to numerous client setups. In any client and most forms of software, you can replace mail.yourdomainname.com or other similar URLS with your server url-- biz###.inmotionhosting.com in your case. That will directly connect to the server! So, biz###.inmotionhosting.com should work for your SMTP server address.

If you run into trouble setting this up, please get in touch with our 24/7 Technical Support team and they can give you further advice.
