General Email Introduction

What is a POP3 E-mail account?

POP3 (Post Office Protocol-version 3) E-mail boxes are mailboxes on Webserver servers which will hold E-mail addressed to your domain, such as You@Yourdomain.Com, Sales@Yourdomain.Com, etc.

You can retrieve and send your E-mail by using an E-mail program or Web browser program (such as Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator etc.) from your personal computer. Or you may also retrieve your E-mail via Web page - which gives you Web access to your E-mail from any computer in the world with Internet access.

How do I upload content to my Website?

You will be given access to your Website via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or published with Microsoft FrontPage. However, if you choose to have FrontPage Extensions and FTP access on your Website, you must do so with caution. If you are not careful, you can easily overwrite the FrontPage extensions and destroy the integrity of the Website.

What does "E-mail forwarding" mean?

Email forwarding means having message sent to your POP account to be forwarded to your other E-mail box on your ISP or office network. Some clients find this convenient -- to log into one single E-mail account to retrieve and send E-mail.

How do I send an automated response to incoming E-mail?

Autoresponders are messages that are automatically sent to anyone who sends an E-mail to your preset E-mail address. If you are out of office for a week, is a good idea to set the autoresponders to help you to reply to any E-mail received during this period -- informing that you would contact them in a later date.

-	Make sure you first have a connection to the Internet. Verify this by visiting a website.
-	Make sure your e-mail client is configured properly. This does not apply if you have checked for new e-mail before and have not changed your configurations since.
-	Verify that you are not behind a firewall! If you are at work, this should be your first clue. If you find that you are behind a firewall, verify with the network administrator that port 110 is allowed. If it is not, this is the reason you cannot connect to the POP3 server.
