Your hosting account includes at least one, default email address. The logon information for this e-mail account matches your hosting account logon and password. Check your InterXstream welcome message for these if you have forgotten this information:

IF you are setting up e-mail account for your default e-mail address, specify only your hosting account username in the "Account name" field as shown below:

IF, however, you are setting up an account for e-mail accounts other than your default account, you must specify the entire e-mail address for the logon username. This is shown in the following example, which assumes you have set up an email account for "bob" on your domain.
