your email client
Your E-mail Accounts
Follow these steps to check your E-mail accounts.
Step 1 : Obtain E-mail Client
software
Just like the FTP language, your computer will need special
software to converse with our E-mail server.
Step 2 : Configuring Your E-mail
Software
You will need to set the preferences of your software to
correctly connect to our server and download your messages.
Listed below are a set of general settings for various
e-mail client software.
Note : If you are using
Eudora,
Apple' Mail.app,
Netscape , or
Outlook Express as your e-mail
client, refer to the tutorial screen shots below to help you
set them up.
If you do not have your own Domain Name
|
Pop/SMTP Mail Server |
mail.mia.net |
|
Your E-mail Address |
address@mia.net |
|
User ID, or Account name |

|

Your Password |
Replace "YourUserID" with the User ID given to you in the
confirmation e-mail you received when you signed up.

mail.yourdomain.com |
|

Replace "YourUserID" with the User ID given to you in the

(See example below)
Example :
Here is an example of the confirmation e-mail received,
and how the variables would be setup in your e-mail
client.
MAIL INFORMATION:
Internet E-mail address:.: you@your-company.com
pop mail login:..........: username
pop mail passwd..........: password
pop mail real name:......: Your Name
pop/smtp server:.........: mail.mia.net
Your Setup Fields would then look like this :
|
Pop/SMTP Mail Server |
mail.your-company.com |
|
Your E-mail Address |
you@your-company.com |
|
User ID, or Account name |
you%your-company.com |
Please Note: Eudora requires that you enter the POP
account in the form of
username%your-domain.com@your-domain.com
These are the main pieces of information you need to
connect and get your mail. There are usually many more
preferences in your specific mail program, but the ones
listed above are the most important.
We have included some screen
shots from popular e-mail clients showing the proper setup
to retrieve your mail.
Step by Step
Setup
Eudora
Mail.App (OSX)
Netscape
Outlook Express
Step 3 : Checking Your
E-mail
Open your e-mail application and choose to check your mail.
The software will then connect to our mail server, and
download any new messages that you may have. When you
connect, your e-mail program will most likely prompt you for
the password of your account. This will be the password you
have chosen for this POP account.
Be sure and read all of the documentation that came with
your particular e-mail software, as each one has its own
interface. Enjoy!
