New Mail Setup
Here are some instructions for getting access to mail on this server. It's the new one of course.
Outlook Configuration
As you go through the screens should look similar depending on which version of Outlook Express you are using. If you have the full blown version of Outlook most things should be in similar places. I'm afraid I don't have a full version of Outlook to use as an example.When??
Sunday, November 12th. Don't change stuff before that unless you're sure you want it to break.Reconfigure for the new VPS setup
- Goto the menu and select Tools then Accounts
- Select your account and click Properties
- Make sure the information looks the same here - of course with your email address where it says E-mail address
- Click on the Servers tab
- Here you should change the Account: to be your email address with domain name. I should have sent everyone an email before the changeover with this information. It would be something like dana@quoteya.com or bob@cryogasinc.com.
- Your setup may say POP3 or POP instead of IMAP. Either is just fine. If you are curious of the differences please let me know.
- Finally, make sure the checkbox for My server requires authentication under the Outgoing Mail Server.
- If you are curious as to what is behind the Settings button under the Outgoing Mail Server section looks like here it is. I just left the defaults which should work just fine.
- That's it! Everything should be working just fine.
Web Mail
Short and sweet to start with.Where to go?
After Sunday, November 12th to access your E-mail through the web you'll need to go to webmail.yourdomain.com where yourdomain.com is the domain part of your email address. So for bob@thesergents.net I would go to http://webmail.thesergents.net.How to Log in
- Your user name to log in should be your full email address ie. bob@thesergents.net
- Your password should have been supplied to you already. If not send an email to me at dana.sergent@gmail.com and I'll work it out with you. Or just give me a call.
