   HTTP mail accounts

   Although this dialog contains a Remember password checkbox, Outlook has a limitation regarding remembering passwords across a multi-server terminal server setup. Therefore, this option will not work in the Digita Virtual Office environment.

   POP3 mail accounts

   Enter the following information for POP3 email accounts.

   Note: If you are using Google Gmail for your POP3 account, see Configuring Outlook to use Google Gmail for your POP3 account.

   Field	Entry
   Your Name	<First name> <Last name>
   E-mail address	<Username@domain.com> (Example: Bob@comcast.net)
   Incoming mail server	eg-popproxy.portal.local
   Outgoing mail server (SMTP)	relay.edc.cust.services
   User Name	<Username>#<email provider's POP server> (Example: Bob#mail.comcast.net) See Notes section below for more information about entering the user name.
   Password	<The password assigned by your administrator> Note: Although this dialog contains a Remember password checkbox, Outlook has a limitation regarding remembering passwords across a multi-server terminal server setup. Therefore, this option will not work in the Digita Virtual Office environment.

   Notes

   • If you are using Yahoo Mail Plus, enter the username as follows: <username>#plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com. Note that <username> is only the beginning of the email address. For example, if your email address is bob@yahoo.com, you would enter bob#plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com.
   • Some email providers use the entire email address as the username, for example: bob@sbcglobal.com#pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com.
   • Some email providers' POP servers use a non-standard port. In such a case, you can append another # followed by the port number, for example: bob#mail.comcast.net#1100.
8. To configure additional settings, such as how you want your computer to connect to the mail server, click the More Settings button and make the appropriate changes.
9. If you are adding a POP3 server account, click the Test Account Settings button to verify that the account is working. If missing or inaccurate information has been entered (such as an incorrect password), you will be prompted to supply or correct the information.
10. Click Next and then click Finish.
