Setting up your email in Outlook/Outlook Express/Etc.
Here is the basic information to setup your email address. For example if your email address was mikesmith@megastream.net and your chosen password was fastsurf, you would use the following information:
Server Information
My incoming server is a POP3 server
Incoming Mail server (POP3): pop.megastream.net
Outgoing Mail server (SMTP): smtp.megastream.net
Remember Password: YES (tick)
My server requires authentication: YES (tick)
Leave a copy of messages on server: NO (untick)
Logon Information
User Name: mikesmith@megastream.net
Password: fastsurf (the password that you chose when you signed up)
Server Information
My incoming server is a POP3 server
Incoming Mail server (POP3): pop.megastream.net
Outgoing Mail server (SMTP): smtp.megastream.net
Remember Password: YES (tick)
My server requires authentication: YES (tick)
Leave a copy of messages on server: NO (untick)
Logon Information
User Name: mikesmith@megastream.net
Password: fastsurf (the password that you chose when you signed up)
Important !
It is important that you do not choose "leave messages on server" setting when using Outlook, Outlook Express, or Thunderbird. This will cause your 10MB storage quota to be reached quickly, and email messages will not be delivered.
