QuickMail Pro: User settings in email software

Setting up your software...

...to send and receive your district email.

Software/Application/Program Mail Settings -

Look in the menu bar of the software/application/program window to see how to configure your email application/program for your district settings.

QuickMail Pro uses:

• Configure -> then Preferences -> then Account -> then Edit

Here are other words to look for:

• Preferences
• Account Information
• Configure Settings

Open that portion of your software/application/program to see the changes you'll need to make below...

Next look for these areas, of the software settings, that need to be modified:

 

1. SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Server. This tells your software the name of your email server that sends your email messages to the Internet.

QuickMail Pro uses:

• SMTP Host

Other names to look for are:

• Outgoing Mail Server
• SMTP Server
  • OUR smtp EXAMPLE:
    • mail3.wsd.wednet.edu

2. POP - Post Office Protocol Server. This is the mail server that receives all of the email sent to you and puts it into your IN BOX. Our SMTP and POP servers are the same.

QuickMail Pro uses:

• POP Host

Other names to look for are:

• Mail Server
• POP Server
• Account Type (POP)
  • OUR pop EXAMPLE:
    • mail3.wsd.wednet.edu

3. Account Name. Not YOUR name, this is the name that was given to you for the first part of your email address. In our district, it is always the same protocol: last name.first initial.

QuickMail Pro uses:

• POP Account

Other names to look for are:

• User Name
• Outgoing User Name
• Account I.D.
  • OUR account EXAMPLE:
    • lorenson.g

4. Email Address - This is the whole thing. Sometimes you might need to fill in:

QuickMail Pro uses:

• E-mail Address

Other names to look for are:

• Return Address
• Account Address
  • OUR address EXAMPLE:
    • lorenson.g@mail3.wsd.wednet.edu

That's all of the information that you will need to be able to configure almost any software that allows you to send and receive email on the Internet. The last consideration that you need to understand is whether or not to leave your email on the server.
