E-Mail Setup Guide



Accessing your new email via webmailStep 1: Lets Get Familiar with “Web Mail”Regardless of how you plan to access your Email all users should follow the below steps to get them comfortable and familiar with accessing their email via the “webmail.”This is the easiest way for you to check your email. As long as your device has an Internet browser and an internet connection all you need to do is open up your browser and head over to: E-mail box Address is your Full Email:test@Put in your Password and hit “Login to Webmail.”Once logged in lets configure a few settings to try and make things a little easier for you in the long run. At the bottom left of the webmail windows and click the “cog” and select “Manage Folders”Now Lets Select “Preferences” > “Server Settings” and duplicate the following settings. By completing this step, all your junk and trash will automatically be deleted every time you log off webmail! Under Main Options:Check: “Mark the Message as read on deleted”Uncheck: “Flag the Message for Deletion instead of Delete”Check: “Do not Show Deleted messages”Check: “If moving messages to trash fails, delete them”Check: “Directly delete messages in Junk”Under Maintenance:Check: “Clear trash on Log Out”Check: “Compact Inbox on Logout”Now hit save and that’s it!Monthly MaintenanceOccasionally users may notice errors when checking their mail indicating that their mailbox is full, has 0% capacity, or no longer has any room. This is normal, by default our email accounts are set up to hold only 25mb of mail, this is done intentionally to help stop malicious spam emails from downloading and open on our users computers. If you do see this message do not be alarmed follow the steps below and you will be back to reading and writing emails in no time!Regardless of how a user decides to check their mail, once a month all users must log on to webmail and clear out all unimportant messages from the folders on the left hand side which are labeled as :InboxDraftsSentJunkTrashYou only need to delete the mail that is not important; it is ok to leave some messages in your inbox and sent folders if needed. 11430014351000Once you have cleared the first three folders and sent the content to the trash we need to delete the trash. To do this in the middle of the window you will see a drop down box; change this box to read “all”Once you have selected “All” Click “Delete” at the top with the trash can icon. Note that simply moving messages to the trash and deleting them does not actually remove the messages from your mail account you need to complete the above actions by deleting the contents in your trash.Setting up your Email across all your devices:Before we being we need to determine what email sync setting is best we have 2 options setting up your email as POP3 or IMAP. Both settings have their pros and cons but we strongly encourage our users to use POP accounts when possible.POPIMAPIf you are only using one device or computer this is the best method for syncing your email to a desktop application, Phone or tablet.If you plan on accessing your email across multiple devices and wish to have all messages sync across these devices and computers we need to use IMAPProsSetting up your email using the POP/3 settings is the easiest and most hassle free way to set up your new email. This is because by default when using an application like Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail, the messages are deleted from the server as soon as they download into your application. In short this means you will not have to logon on webmail and manually delete all your mail once a monthIMAP is great for using multiple devices as stated above, so regardless of where or how you check your email all your messages will in your inbox, sent, junk, and deleted folders will appear every where you have your email set-up.Due to the hassle and constant upkeep of using IMAP we strongly encourage you to use the POP settings. But at any time you can always change from POP to IMAP or IMAP to POP. Cons:If you are using multiple computers and/or devices to check the same emails account, the messages will not sync across all your devices. This is because once a message has downloaded from the server to any single one device or computer that message is removed form the server and only available on the first device to access and download the messagesThe downside to using IMAP is that you will constantly find that you will reach the max capacity of your email very quickly. To get around this issue we will have to change some setting within your email applications and or will require that you logon to ’s webmail to manually delete unwanted messages. This has cause a lot of frustration for our users, and is the one of the reasons we strongly encourage our users to use POP accounts.Regardless of which setting you choose, both can be setup across multiple computers and devices, the difference between the two server types strictly relates to how messages are automatically deleted from the server, and how they sync across multiple devices.Apple’s Desktop Mail App:For Demo purposes I will be using Test@, simply replicate the steps1.
