This blog entry offers assistance in configuring your email client to download email from our mail servers using Microsoftâs Outlook XP version 2003.
Once you have set up email accounts on your KeyclicksÂŽ hosting control panel, (or Keyclicks have done this for you), you will need to configure the e-mail client on your PC to allow you to download them.
An email client is the programme you use on your computer to send and receive emails. Examples are Microsoft’s Outlook and Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger and Mozilla Thunderbird. There are plenty of others available; the principal is the same with each.

Over the last 2-3 years Weblogs or âBlogsâ as they are called have exploded in popularity .
Previously itâs been thought that âbloggingâ was just for kids or geeks. However, whilst this is still the case to a certain degree; blogs are starting to be recognised by businesses both big and small as a way to âconnect with their customersâ as a way to either enhance a brand, drive traffic to a website or simply to announce news .
So why should your business use a blog? After all if youâve already spent time and money developing your website, whatâs the point of spending even more time and money on developing and maintaining a blog.

Why Have a Google Site Map?
In June 2005 Google launched a new service called Google SiteMapsâ˘.
Google SiteMaps allow website owners to quickly submit their website’s new or modified page URLs (web addresses) to Google’s web crawling spider which is called âGooglebotâ. Google SiteMaps have no influence upon search engine ranking performance or the calculation of a site’s PageRank⢠value; however what they will do is allow a site owner to get their site quickly indexed by Googlebot faster than ever before. This in turn ensures that all the pages within a website are quickly indexed and included into Google’s search results, thus improving search engine visibility for the site.

If youâre looking to transfer your domain name away from the Keyclicks servers and/or registry to another hosting provider or registry, then we ask that you please make the request in writing either by post (snail mail) or by fax using 01274 869 881.
Both methods of request need to be made on company headed paper from the domainâs legal registrant i.e. the person or company that is listed in the WHOIS record for the domain (this may be different to the account holder for your company at Keyclicks so please be careful).
NB: We know this is a pain, but we need to be sure from a legal stance that the transfer request is a genuine one.

If we are to provide the web hosting services for your new website and you already own an existing domain name which you may have registered with another provider; then youâll need to migrate your domain name to our web servers so that it can be used with our email and web hosting servers.
This is a simple administrative task for your existing domain name hosting provider (thatâs the theory anyway). Many providers also let you manage your domain name yourself through a web based control panel (look for âDNS Controlâ, âDNS Managementâ or the âName server Managementâ section under your control panel), if you fancy tacking the job yourself.
