Setting Up E-Mail With Messenger

1. Start Communicator and Select File, Preferences, Mail & Newgroups, Identity

Under the identity heading fill in

• Your Name
• Your email address as shown below

2. Next Select Mail Servers
 

Under Add

• Fill in Server name with the name of the email server you are using. For example: greene.xtn.net, mail.yahoo.com, mail.greenek12.org [Note: although the word mail must appear when filling in the server name, it is omitted when listing your email address so that the server name for the Greene County Schools is mail.greenek12.org, but the email addresses of those using the server is username@greenek12.org]
• Set Server Type to POP3
• Fill in your user name
• Check boxes as desired
• Click O.K.

Under the POP Tab, you can choose to Leave messages on server so that messages you download away from home will also be available at home. If you select this option, you will also have the option of selecting the When deleting a message locally, remove from the server option (greyed-out below).

If you receive mail at home and at work, it is a good idea to select this option for school and selecting the remove from server when deleting locally option. Doing that allows you to have copies of messages both at home and at school, but also keeps the server from becoming clogged with unnecessary messages.

Next
