POP Account Configuration
To retrieve e-mail from your POP
Mailbox on the St. Johns server, use the following settings
in your e-mail program:
|
Username
(Login Name): |
username#stjohnsmilw.org |
|
POP
Server: |
pop.stjohnsmilw.org |
|
SMTP
Server: |
smtp.stjohnsmilw.org |
|
Be
sure to replace the red information
above with the correct information for your username.
Please note that our servers require authentication before
allowing you to send e-mail via your smtp server. To do this, please
be sure that your e-mail program is set to authenticate.
In Outlook Express, you would do the following:
Go to Tools -> Accounts
click on the "Mail" tab, click "Add", then
select "Mail..."
Follow the instructions in each dialog box.
Enter your correct username and password.
select "next" then "finished"
Now select the account you just created and
click on Properties.
Under Outgoing Mail Server, select: My server
requires authentication
Then click on the Settings button
Make sure the following
is selected: Use the same settings as my incoming mail server
Click OK, OK, Close
All done.
In Eudora, simply bring up the properties of the
Personality and be sure Authentication Allowed is checked.
Why is my domain name part of the username?
There are other domain names hosted on the same server as yours.
There may very well be another user with the same user-name as yours
on the server. Our server requires the domain name as part of the
username so that the correct mailbox can be checked.
Is that really a # sign in the username?
Yes. You should use the # sign in the username setting of your
e-mail program. Everywhere else, you should continue to use the @
sign. Some e-mail programs allow you to use the @ sign in the
username. But some e-mail programs don't allow the @ sign. All
e-mail programs, however, will allow the # sign in the username.
I've created a POP Account via the Account Manager but I
cannot retrieve e-mail.
I keep getting a "password error" message.
I know I'm using the correct password.
What's going on?
Most likely, you have not set the username correctly in your e-mail
program. The username must be username#stjohnsmilw.org. Please
verify that your e-mail program has the correct username for this
e-mail address.
I'm having trouble sending e-mail. Why?
If you are using smtp.stjohnsmilw.org in your e-mail program, there
is a good chance that your ISP is blocking you from using any smtp
server but their own. ISPs have done this in an effort to reduce
spam. We have a work-around that will allow you to send mail via
your smtp server.
If you use Outlook Express:
Go to Tools -> Accounts
Select the EsoSoft account with which you are working
Click on Properties
Go to the Advanced Register
Change: Outgoing Mail (SMTP): 25
to: Outgoing Mail (SMTP): 587
If you use Eudora:
Go to Tools -> Options
Click on the Ports category
Change the SMTP Port to: 587
Click OK
In Eudora, if you do not see the Ports category in Tools ->
Options, please do the following:
Close Eudora - close the program, don't just minimize the
window
Open Windows Explorer and go to the main Eudora directory (where
Eudora is installed on your computer)
Now move into the directory named: extrastuff
Find the file named: esoteric.epi
Right click that file and Copy it
Now move back "up" to the main Eudora directory
Right click in this directory and Paste the esoteric.epi file
here
Close Windows Explorer
Now when you open Eudora and go to Tools -> Options, you'll find
the Ports category (at the bottom).
