Generic
Configuration Instructions
Configuring
e-mail settings may be different from program
to program, but all e-mail programs require the
same basic pieces of information. Here we list
the different items required by most e-mail programs,
and the proper way to configure them. If you have
difficulty trying to figure out how to configure
your particular piece of software, please consult
the documentation that came with that program,
or contact the software manufacturer.
POP
mail
Some e-mail programs can check other types of
e-mail boxes as well as POP. If your program asks
you which type of e-mail box you are using, select
the option for POP e-mail. POP e-mail is already
the default for most programs.
Address,
Return Address, Reply-To Address
This is just like the return address on a postal
letter. Enter the e-mail address of your account
here. Example: address@
UserID,
popID, Username
Enter the popID that you selected when you created
your POP account. Some programs will ask for a
POP Account instead. In this case, enter
your popID@ .

box. Some programs do not ask for the password
until you check your mail.
