Accessing Your Email
Eudora
We recommend using Eudora
as your email client. This is a mail program that runs under MS Windows and Macintosh OS.
Eudora connects to the mail server over the Winsock or Macintosh TCP/IP. Mail may be
composed and read offline, but make sure that Winsock or TCP/IP is running before
attempting to send or receive email. Although your account exists on our server, you won't
be able to receive email at yourname@yourdomain.com until InterNIC has activated you in
the domain name servers.
After Eudora has been installed, it must be
configured to point to your server. To do this, start Eudora and select
"Settings" from the menu bar. Most of the options are self explanatory. Here are
the steps you need to perform to set up Eudora:
- Install and start up the Eudora program
- Select "Settings" from the "Special" menu
- Select the "Getting Started" tab, then under Real Name,
enter your Real Name
- Under "POP Account" put yourdomain@yourdomain.com
- Leave Return Address blank unless you want people to send return
email to you at a different email account
- If you use the Macintosh version, the radio button for TCP/IP
connection should be highlighted
- Click the "Personal Information" tab (also only for the
Macintosh version)
- Under POP account put <yourdomain.comagain
- Fill out the "Real Name" and "Return Address"
as you did before
- Under "Dialup User Name" enter yourdomain (do not enter
.com or .net here)
- Click the "Hosts" tab then enter <yourdomain.com
again under POP Account, and put ISP;s <yourISPdomain.comunder SMTP
Server.
- Go to the "Checking Mail" tab and make sure "Save
Password" is checked.
That's pretty much all the configuration Eudora needs. Many of the
configuration areas will be filled in when you go to them, for instance it will usually
fill in the POP account info where ever it needs it after you enter it the first time.
Now, when you select "Check Mail" under the File menu, a window will pop up
asking for your password. Enter in your password then click on the proceed button and
Eudora will check to see if you have email. You can now send a test email message to
yourself and then check to see if it gets returned to you. If you checked "Save
Password" as in step 12, Eudora will not prompt you again for your password after the
first time. If multiple users have access to your computer, and you don't want them to
have access to your email account, make sure "Save Password" is unchecked.
Your default email address is yourdomain@yourdomain.com, and
that's where all your email will be sent to, unless other configurations take priority
(such as autoresponders and redirects mentioned later).
Mail program samples
The sample setups:
Microsoft internet mail
- Your Name = Fred Smith
- Email = fred@yourdomain.com
- From = fred@yourdomain.com
- Account = fred
- Pass = xxxxxx
- SMTP = (Why my ISP's SMTP?)
- Internet Mail POP server = yourdomain.com
Netscape
- Your Name = Fred Smith
- Email Address = fred@yourdomain.com
- Reply to = fred@yourdomain.com
- Mail Server user name = you-fred
- outgoing SMTP = (Why my ISP's SMTP?)
- Incoming = yourdomain.com
If you would like additional POP email accounts, ask us and we'll
set it up for you. Remember there may be a additional one-time charge for each POP account
depending on your account. To check numerous POP accounts, read the manual or help files
that come with Eudora or your email client software for configuration.
If you are familiar with the shell (Unix) programs,
"pine" and "mail", you can use either of these to check and send email
as well.

we will set it up for you!
