What is
a POP3 E-mail account? |
| |
POP3 (Post
Office Protocol-version 3) E-mail boxes
are mailboxes on MCentury 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. |

What
does "E-mail forwarding" mean? |
| |

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. |

What
is "E-mail aliasing"? |
| |
Aliases
are a way of making one email account
seem like many. This is called "unlimited
aliasing". Suppose you are in charge of
billing and marketing. Instead of making
two individual accounts to handle these
emails, you would make one account named
You@Yourdomain.Com which is a valid POP
account, at which you can send and receive
mail.. Next you would apply Billing, and
Marketing as aliases of the You@Yourdomain.Com
account. With this setup, mail sent to
any of the 3 above mentioned email accounts
(Billing@Yourdomain.Com, Marketing@Yourdomain.Com
and You@Yourdomain.Com) will all be sent
to the mailbox of You@Yourdomain.Com. |

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. |

What
do I do if I cannot check for new e-mail
on a certain POP3 account? |
| |
You first
need to determine whether you
can even connect to the POP3 server,
or if you can connect to the POP3
server but can't login to the
POP3 account successfully. Use
the guideline below to troubleshoot
your particular case.
If you can connect to the POP3
server but receive errors... |
| - |
Make sure you are
entering your login and password
correctly! This is the most common
problem. |
| - |
Make sure you are
connecting to the correct POP3
server (Mail.Yourdomain.Com). |
|
| If you can't
connect to the POP3 server... |
| - |
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. |
