Configuring Mail Forwarding
|
It is possible to automatically download messages from a different email account (eg, Yahoo) so that they appear in your MailASail Inbox. Setting this up will only take a few moments but you will first need to find the name of the incoming mail server (POP3 details).
Where you find this information and how it is described will depend largely on your email provider, but the details that you need are basically the same details you need to configure Outlook with their service (or if it's already configure on your computer then you can lookup the settings in Outlook!). Once you have the name of the mail server, you would do the following:
- Sign on to your MailASail webmail account (http://www.mailasail.com/webmail)
- Click on the 'Options' link and then select 'POP Fetchmail'
- Complete the required details (eg, in the case of a BT-Internet/Yahoo user, this would be your Yahoo account name, password and the Yahoo mail server - eg 'pop.mail.yahoo.com')
- Click 'Submit' to save this change
- You can then enter in additional server entries to downlo from more than one server if required
Note that not all email providers make the server information easy to find, although good starting points might be links such as 'Options' or 'Support' on their respective webmail sites.
