Setting up your email client for POP3
For the most part setting up a POP3/SMTP account is easy, there are however many applications you can use and setting them up can vary, so what I will do is give you the settings and a basic idea of what to do with them, I am afraid the rest is up to you...
There are many mail clients floating arround, some of them are good (IncrediMail), and some not so good (Outlook)
I use IncrediMail, you can download a trial if you want to try it out, there is no time limit on it
Settings
Your Email Address - I think you probably know what this is
Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - mail.georgina-walker.com
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - mail.georgina-walker.com
Incoming Mail Port (POP3) - 110 (you shouldnt need to change this)
Outgoing Mail Port (SMTP) - 25 (you shouldnt need to change this)
Username - Your username, the part before the @ in your email address
Password - The password you signed up with
Username and password are required for POP3 only
There are a few options that should be disabled as well, or you may not be able to connect properly - Secure Password Authentication, APOP, SSL, "Outgoing mail server authentication" should all be disabled
You should be aware that although the outgoing mail server does not require you to log in for you to send an email, you must check your email shortly before you send, this is a security measure
If you have any queries regarding setting up your client, or about the settings themselves, you can post a question on our forums
Using WebMail
This is simple... Just navigate to Open WebMail
You will find it has its own set of easy to follow instructions...
Just log in with the username and password you signed up with
The first time you log in, it will ask you to set up a few options, the default is fine for most people, but you can change things if you want
Other Notes
How much diskspace do I get?
All email accounts will have 15Mb of diskspace, you can use this space for whatever use you wish within the limits of the View the Terms Of Service
Why do some of my emails have {Virus?} in the subject line?
The server scans all emails that pass through it for viruses, it removes the virus, quarentines it on the server, and adds {Virus?} to the subject so that you know.
In addition to this, an email is sent to both the system administrator (me), and the person that sent you the email
There is usualy a text file attached to the email explaining what has been done
Why do some of my emails have {Spam?} in the subject line?
The server scans all emails that pass through it for properties that mark it as possible spam, if an email contains a certain number of these properties it is marked with {Spam?} to let you know that it is probably spam.
It is possible to set up an email client like IncrediMail to delete these emails before they are even downloaded... it works prety well but I wont guarentee that 100% of what is marked as spam is actual spam
