AVO Mail Server POP3 Configurations
POP3 server (incoming mail server)
You are advice to use your own mail server in the form of:
mail.yourdomain.tld
where eg: for lookafter.com, the mail server will be:
mail.lookafter.com
SMTP server (outgoing mail server)
You SMTP server is the SAME with your POP3 server.
Note that Afteroffice SMTP server allows only genuine user to send email. You will need to check your email first by performing a POP3 session, then only perform a SMTP session to send your email out.
You must also set the sender email address in your mail client to the exact email address that you use in VO.
POP3 id (login name)
The POP3 id (also known as login name) is your full email.
There are 2 types of login name supported by Afteroffice POP3 service.
Example email to setup:
user@lookafter.com
POP3 ID supported:
Type 1:
user@lookafter.com
For Outlook Express, Netscape Mail, Mozilla and most mail client applications, you may use full email as your POP3 id. This is the most convenient method to configure your mail client. Afteroffice recommends you use this method for all your mail client configurations.
Type 2:
user%lookafter.com
For some versions of Eudora, using an “@” in the POP3 id field is prohibited as it has been used as the mail host separator, and thus you may substitute with a “%” here. A typical Eudora mail id could be something like:
user% lookafter.com@mail.lookafter.com
