Internet Mail Setup
NOTE: These instructions are for either the Windows 95 or
Windows 3.1 Internet Explorer E-mail software. We recommend using this integrated e-mail
package for your e-mail. If you choose to use Microsoft Exchange/Outlook instead, you will
need to follow our Microsoft Exchange e-mail setup instructions
instead.
Internet Mail setup instructions:
1. Connect to the Internet
2. Open Internet Explorer
3. Click on View, Options from the menu
4. Click on the Programs tab
5. Make sure that Internet Mail is chosen as the e-mail service you want to use
6. Click on OK
7. Click on the Mail button from the toolbar
8. Click on Read Mail
9. You may or may not be prompted to setup your software through a "wizard",
if you are, great, just enter the information below when prompted, if you are not,
then click on Mail, Options from the menu bar, and then click on the Server tab.
Your information should be entered as follows:
Name: <enter your full name here as you want it to appear when sending
your e-mail>
Organization: <optional>
E-mail Address: <enter your e-mail address here, i.e. yourname@egl.net>
Outgoing Mail (SMTP): mailserver.egl.net
Incoming Mail (POP3): mailserver.egl.net
POP3 Account: <enter your user name here>
Password: <enter your password here>
10. You will also need to either click on the Connection tab, or as the last step
of the wizard process tell the program that you Access your e-mail using a Modem,
and that you are using your Eagle connection (this should already be an available
option for you).
11. When you're done, click on OK or Finish to complete the setup
process
12. Congratulations! You are now ready to send and receive e-mail. To check if you've done
everything right, click on the Send/Receive button from the toolbar. If you have
done everything right, you should not get any errors here. If you do get errors, make sure
that you're still online and that you've entered all the information properly. If you have
any mail in your mailbox, you should see it in your Inbox after you've got
everything setup properly.
