Your E-mail
Accounts
Follow these steps to check your Mia.Net 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.
In our Software
Archive, we have direct downloads to many of
the e-mail clients for both Macintosh and Windows
environments.
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,
Netscape , or
Outlook as your e-mail
client, refer to the tutorial screen shots 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
|
YourUserID
|
|
Password
|
Your Password
|
Replace "YourUserID" with the User ID given to
you in the confirmation e-mail you received when
you signed up.
If you have your own Domain Name
|
Pop/SMTP Mail Server
|
mail.yourdomain.com
|
|
Your E-mail Address
|
address@yourdomain.com
|
|
User ID, or Account name
|
username%yourdomain.com
|
|
Password
|
Your Password
|
Replace "YourUserID" with the User ID given to
you in the confirmation e-mail you received when
you signed up, and "yourdomain" with the domain
name you registered with us. (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 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 !!
