You will receive an email from the ideaLEVER System Administrator that will tell you the address of the incoming (POP3) mail server, as well as your logon ID and password to retrieve email.
If you have opted for our enhanced Spam Filtering option, then you should also use ideaLEVER for sending (SMTP) email. This runs your email through the spam filter so that it can find out who you have email relationships with; this will help the spam filter to determine whether incoming email is spam or not.
If you are not using ideaLEVER for sendimg email, then you will need to check with your Internet Service Provider for information on using their SMTP server to send mail
Let's get started in setting up your ideaLEVER Email account.
Note that you have two options for your outgoing SMTP server. If you are using ideaLEVER for SMTP, then you will have received the logon id and password in an email from the System Administrator.
If you are not using ideaLEVER to send mail you need to confer with your Internet Service Provider for information on how to configure the SMTP server.
Shaw: use mail.shawcable.com for outgoing server.

Telus: Use smtp.telus.net for outgoing server.
You will have received an email with your SMTP server username and password.
