Your E-mail Accounts

NEW AUTHENTICATION RULES AS OF 10/31/05

Follow these steps to check your Wonderwave.Net E-mail account.

Step 1 : Obtain E-mail Client software
You will need to use a email client. Most internet users have Outlook Express, Netscape Communicator, or Eudora as their email client. Most modern computers come with all software necessary to access the internet.

Step 2 : Configuring Your E-mail Software
You will need to set the preferences of your software to correctly connect to our server and download your messages. Listed below are a set of general settings for various e-mail client software.

These are the main pieces of information you need to connect and get your mail. There are usually many more preferences in your specific mail program, but the ones listed above are the most important.

We have included some screen shots from popular e-mail clients showing the proper setup to retrieve your mail.

Step 3 : Checking Your E-mail
Open your e-mail application and choose to check your mail. The software will then connect to our mail server, and download any new messages that you may have. When you connect, your e-mail program will most likely prompt you for the password of your account. This will be the password you have chosen for this POP account.

Be sure and read all of the documentation that came with your particular e-mail software, as each one has its own interface.

In Outlook Express:
Pull down the Tools menu to Accounts.
Click on the Mail tab.
Click on the Wonderwave mail account and click Properties.
Click on the Server tab.
Click the box by My server requires authentication, click Settings.
Make sure that Use same settings as my incoming mail server is selected, click OK.
Click the Advanced tab.

Repeat the procedure for any other Wonderwave mail accounts that you have.
