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.
