The following window prompts you to provide your Internet E-mail

Windows Mail needs to know which mail servers to get mail from and
to send mail through. The incoming mail server is a POP3 server
and its name is mail.i20a.com The outgoing (SMTP) mail server is also named mail.i20a.com Be sure to select the box to indicate that the "Outgoing server requires authentication." This means that the outgoing server checks your username and password to verify that it is really you sending the e-mail. Click Next to continue. |
|
|
To retreive mail from mail.i20a.com, Windows Mail will need your
full e-mail address. Note that your password is case-sensitive.
Select "Remember password" to prevent having to type your password everytime you check for new mail. The E-mail username and password will be provided by I20Access. Again click Next to continue. |
|
|
Once all of the above information has been provided, Windows Mail is
ready to handle your incoming and outgoing e-mail. You may start
using it immediately. Click Finish to start using Windows Mail. |
