Title 1

◊Email Setup for Outlook Express
 

Note: H-Sphere users can also use the info below but info pertaining specifically to H-Sphere users will be highlighted in yellow. Review your welcome email, control panel or ask your ISP rep which CP you are using.

The same procedures outlined here are generally applicable in most email programs. Contact our customer service or your ISP rep if this tutorial doesn't help.

Open your Outlook Express email program. Look for "Tools" in the menu at the top left of your screen. As in the diagram below 

Click the "Tools" menu and go down to the "Accounts" menu and click.

The new screen is where you can view all of your email and other accounts. If you already have email accounts entered and they are not shown, be sure that the "Mail" tab is chosen. Click the "Add button to add your new account.

Then choose "Mail" as shown below.

Enter the name you want to be displayed by anyone retrieving your email. Generally a birth or nick name is used. Our example customer is Mr. John Doe. He decides to use the title and name Mr. Doe. Choose yours and then click "next".

Mr. Doe has 2 email accounts at this domain. John@JohnDoe.com for him And Jane@JohnDoe.com for his wife. To specifically setup his account. We've entered his email address below. Enter yours and click "next".

Use your domain name for your POP3 and SMTP servers. See the example below. Make sure that "POP3" is chosen as the server type and click "next". H-Sphere users should use mail.johndoe.com for POP3 and SMTP.

Your account name is your username and that which comes before the @ symbol in your email address. Enter it and your password. If you're not concerned about other people who use your computer, then you can check the remember password option. Just be advised that anyone with access to your computer can access your email because this negates the necessity to type in a password. Leave the "SPA" option blank and click "next". H-Sphere users should use their entire email address as their username.

If you see the screen below you should be set. Click "finish" and let's take just one more step.

If you go back to the "accounts" screen you should see your newly added account. You can set it as your main account by highlighting it and choosing "set as default" or you can double click it to view and/or edit it's properties. The "import" button can help you transfer info from existing accounts that were setup in another email program. And the "export" will send the info you have in Outlook Express to another program. H-Sphere users will have to return and checkmark This server requires a secure connection for Outgoing mail (SMTP). You'll also need to change the SMTP outgoing port from 25 to 587. This should complete your H-Sphere account e-mail setup.

◊Using WebMail To View Email        H-Sphere users click here!

You can view, edit store and send your email thru our webmail client using nothing but your browser. One benefit of using webmail is when you're away from home or your main computer which houses your email account settings. Instead of having to wait until you return home or setting up your personal account info on someone else's computer, you can securely use our webmail service from any computer anywhere in the world that has internet access.

You 1st need to get to the webmail page for your domain. You can do this with any browser by entering your URL (domain address) and then adding: /cgi-bin/wmail/wmail.pl H-Sphere users can access webmail by going to http://64.27.19.66/horde or from your CP (control panel). Watch the following demo for more on H-Sphere webmail.

For our example Victor James has an email account at OnlineHelper.org named VictorJ@OnlineHelper.info.

We start by entering the domain name http://www.onlinehelper.org and then adding: /cgi-bin/wmail/wmail.pl

The complete URL will be: http://onlinehelper.org/cgi-bin/wmail/wmail.pl

To login, enter your email username (the name before the @ symbol) and password like the example below.

You'll next see the inbox. This is where all of your new mail will reside until you either move or delete it. In the example below, Victor has 1 email in his inbox. It is from Victor D. James and the subject is "Test mail". To the right you'll see the date and time it arrived. Next to the time is the word "Pacific" which denotes the time zone. To the right is also the size or amount of drive space the email and it's attachments if any  is taking up. The amount is 16kb. The amount of space your mailbox is allotted can vary. Free accounts are allotted 10 megabytes. This is important to know when people decide to send you email that contain large attachments like photos, music files or videos. These files can easily be 1 meg or even more than the allotted 10 megs. If you receive large email files, you should download them to your computer as ASAP so you can delete them from your mailbox and make more room for new mail. If you find that 10 megs is consistently not enough for you to receive your email files you can contact your ISP representative to obtain a paid email account. They run only $12 per year and house 20 megs instead of just 10. They also do not show the ISP ad at the bottom of your outgoing emails.

 To view the mail, you'd click the subject which is a link. To move the email to a different folder, click the empty box to the left of the subject line. This places a check mark in the box. Then click on the "Move To" button at the bottom right and choose the folder you wish to move the file/s to. At the very top you can see the other choices you have. "Compose" to write your own email to someone else or your self if you're like me. "Options" allows you to set and change your preferences. And the "Help" and "Logout" is self explanatory.

Now we click on the "Test mail" subject link to open the email below.

In the opened email, we again see the general header info and the message or body of the email below. Note the box with the "x" in the middle between the words "Thank you" and "Victor James". This box appears when there is an attachment that cannot be shown in the body of the email. At the bottom right are 2 new buttons that allow you to send a reply to the writer of this email or to forward the entire email to another person or email address. In the event of spam, viruses and/or illegal emails like threats, you should forward the entire email to your ISP rep or Spam@OnlineHelper.info . But especially in the case of viruses, let the ISP rep know before hand what you are sending and why. You don't want your ISP rep open and spread a virus or to feel that you are spamming him or her.
