1.0 Internet Mail

1.1 Using Internet Mail - I-Mail
There are various ways to access your e-mail from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The most common way is to use a program like Outlook Express, to create, retrieve and send e-mail, however this can often be a pain filled exercise as you make the configuration changes needed.
The best alternative in our opinion is to use a browser based e-mail package. This means that you can access your e-mail via a normal internet browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
No more complicated configurations and you can run your e-mail from anywhere in the world.
The following sections cover how to access your e-mail address through a browser and how to use some of the most common mail features

1.2 Accessing your E-Mail
You will need to know your full e-mail address and password, if you do not have these with you, contact Domain Registration's helpful support staff for assistance. You will also need the email server name / IP address of the ISP you connect to.

If you made an error in your login information you need to hit the Back button on your browser and re-enter the information again.
Once you are logged in you will see the main menu screen for the mail system as displayed below. This screen allows you to perform most of the basic mail management functions including changing your password, managing your mailbox, creating and reading messages

2.0 Configuring Electronic Mail - E-mail
The instructions below apply to configuring MS Outlook 98 and MS Outlook Express v5 for use as your e-mail application.
You will need to have already installed these applications on you PC prior to following this guide, if you haven't already installed these applications follow the installation instructions as provided by the manufacturer. (Downloadable from www.mircosoft.com)
Where the manufacturers documentation refers to information provided by your ISP the following section should contain that information

2.1 Setting Up Outlook 98
In the main menu at the top of the screen - select "Tools" then "Services"
This will bring up the services window.
Ensure the "Services" tab is selected then click on the "Add" button.
Select the "Internet E-Mail" service from the list provided then click "OK".
Clicking OK will automatically bring up the "Mail Account Properties" window. In this window complete the following details:
Mail Account - this should be the name under which you would like your e-mail account to be known e.g. Jane Bloggs.
Name - this is your name.
Organisation - this is your company name if applicable.
E-Mail address - enter your full and correct e-mail address here e.g. info@mydomainname.com.au
Reply address - this is the address to send replies back. You can leave this blank.

Once the above details have been entered you can click on the "Server" tab to continue the setup process. In the "Server" section you will need to complete the details as follow:

Outgoing Mail(SMTP) - this is the area that you need to put the name of your Service Providers e-mail server. This entry will be mail.domainreg.com.au if you connect to the Internet through Intrapower.
However if you are using another Internet Service Provider to gain access to the internet to get your mail you will need to enter the mail address of your providers mail server (in the event you don't know this call your provider and ask them for the address of their SMTP Mail server).

Incoming Mail(POP3) - this is where you put your incoming mail address. If you have your own domain name and your e-mail is hosted at Domain Registration you will need to enter in mail.mydomainname.com.au
For example, if you have the domain fuzzies.net.au you would enter mail.fuzzies.net.au . If you do not have a domain your mail address will be mail.domainreg.com.au .

Select Log on using.
Account Name - enter your full username and domain name, e.g. info@mydomainname.com.au
Password - enter your password as specified.
My server requires authentication - tick this if you use another service provider other than IntraPower to connect to the internet and they require a username and password to access mail (if you are unsure of this check with your provider). If you use Domain Registration as your internet service provider you must leave this unchecked.

Once the above details have been entered you can click on the "Connection" tab to continue the setup process.
Select the connection option most appropriate to your situation, in most cases this would be "Connect using my phone line" and then select the modem connection. If you do not wish outlook to dial a connection to your ISP, then you would select "Connect using my Local Area Network (LAN)".

Now click "OK" to apply the changes and close the Services Properties window and then click "OK" again to close the Services window.
You will need to close and restart Outlook for the changes to take effect.

2.2 Setting Up Outlook Express V5 & Outlook 2000

If you connect to the internet via a phone line you may be required to load the Dial-Up Networking system and configure a dial-up connection to finish setting up your mail. If you chose another connection type you will be given the end screen and asked to click Finish.

2.3 Eudora
The following is provided as a guide - we do not support this product. Microsoft Outlook is our preferred choice of E-mail software or our Internet Browser based product - I-Mail.

When your e-mail addresses proliferate, you'll want a client that pulls mail from multiple mailboxes. Eudora Pro 4.0 can. (We're assuming you've already set up Eudora to grab mail from one account.)

Windows 95/NT

· Choose Tools/Personalities from the main menu, right-click anywhere in that window, and pick New from the pop-up menu.
· Complete the New Account Wizard by entering the information--your name, email address, POP server, and so on--that it requests.

When you're through, the new account appears in the Personalities window. (Note: if this account requires an SMTP server address rather than a POP server address, you'll need to add the SMTP server address after walking through the New Account wizard.

· Right-click the account in the Personalities window, choose Modify from the pop-up menu, and then enter the server address in the SMTP Server field.)

By default, Eudora sets up each new account so that it's checked for new mail every time you click the Check Mail icon or select File/Check Mail from the main menu. To ignore this new account, right-click it in the Personalities window, choose Modify from the pop-up menu, and uncheck the Check Mail box under the Generic Properties tab. To collect mail from some but not all of your accounts, hold down the Shift key while you click the Check Mail icon. In the Mail Transfer Options dialog box, you can specify the mailboxes from which you want to retrieve mail.
