Accessing Your
Email
If you want to access your
email directly from your domain rather than redirecting the mail to
an existing email account, we recommend using Eudora as your email
client. This is an email program that runs under Windows and
Macintosh OS. There are many good reasons for using Eudora, one of
which is that it allows multiple email accounts and personalities.
See your program documentation for instructions on how to set those
up.
Eudora connects to the
mail server over the Winsock or Macintosh TCP/IP. Mail may be
composed and read offline, but make sure that you are online before
attempting to send or receive email.
