Setting Up an E-mail Mailbox:
Any number of e-mail clients can be used to access e-mail stored at an e-mail mailbox on
your server. If you are using the Post Office Protocol (POP) to "pop" mail off
of your server e-mail mailbox (i.e. download the mail to your local computer) then you
should consider Qualcomm Eudora, Netscape Communicator, Pegasus Mail by David Harris, or
the Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you are using the Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP)
to read mail from your Virtual Server e-mail mailbox then Netscape Communicator or
Qualcomm Eudora 4.0+ are good choices.
Each mail client, though different, will require essentially the same information, namely:
the mailbox location, your identity, your e-mail address, and the SMTP relay host. Some
sample configuration parameters for several e-mail clients are given below:
