Note
Your welcome email lists the exact mail server for your account. If it is different from mail.yourdomain.co.za, use the one in the welcome email. The same page also shows the correct values for your hosting plan.

If you see a security certificate warning

Your domain must be pointing to your AfterWave hosting before the secure mail certificate can be issued. If your domain was registered or moved recently, wait a few hours and try again. If the warning stays, see SSL certificates and fixing “Not secure” or contact us.
