Setting up and using your POP3 & Web Mail Account.
What is a Web Mail
Account?
Web mail is a method of accessing your email via a web browser like Internet
Explorer.
You can send and receive emails with attachments via this web
mail interface.
If you exceed your total on-line
storage limit new emails sent to your account may get rejected, so please delete
old items stored on the mail server.
You can access the web mail logon
menu going to your companies mail server as shown in the following example:
http://mail.yourdomain.com
E-Mail Address: Yourname@yourdomain.com - You must use the FULL e-mail address. The username is NOT case sensitive.
Password: ******** Given to you when your account was set up. The password IS case sensitive.
You may change your password from the web mail menu under options.
Remember if you change your password you must also change it in Outlook as well.
What is a POP3 Account?
POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) is a method of sending and receiving email to your
desktop using an e-mail program such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express or
Netscape, etc... POP3 e-mail is downloaded from the mail server into
your computer. Once an e-mail is downloaded it is deleted from the mail server, so it will no longer be
available to you via the web mail interface above UNLESS you select the option
in Outlook to leave a copy of the mail on the server for a couple of days. Each email
account has a 10 Megabyte limit on the amount of email that can be stored up at
the server. Although it seems like a great deal of room, a few attachments
such as photo's can fill that up. So if you decide to have the mail server keep
a copy of the mail, try to keep the number of days being stored to a minimum.
What are my POP3 Account Settings
I need to know?
You need to know the following information in
order to properly set up your account in Outlook.
Username:
yourname@yourdomain.com
Password:
yourpassword
Incoming POP3 mail server:
mail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing POP3 mail server:
mail.yourdomain.com
(Optimum Cable Users must use:
mail.optonline.net )
YOU MUST CHECK the box that says "My server requires
authentication" for your OUTGOING mail server.
This box is usually located under the advanced or servers tab in the account
settings.
You may have problems sending bulk email through Optonline, since Cablevision
limits the maximum number of recipients to under 30.
To work around this problem you can use the mail.yourdomain.com as the outgoing
mail server, but you must change port 25 under advanced settings to port 4200.
This will allow you to send mail up to 300 recipients simultaneously.
