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.
Click the "+" sign at the bottom of the left window to create a new account.
The Description and Full name can be anything you like. The EMail Address will be the email address referred to in the email from the ideaLEVER System Administrator.
The Incoming Mail Server, Username and Password are also contained in the email from the ideaLEVER System Administrator.
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.
Xplornet: http://www.xplornet.com/supportemail.php
Telus: Use smtp.telus.net for outgoing server.
In the "Outgoing Mail Server" part of the Email setup window, click the button that says "Server Settings..."
In the window that pops up, either select an existing server, if you have already setup other email accounts on this computer, or click "Add Server" to setup a new one. You would have to do this if you are going to use ideaLEVER for sending mail.
If you are using ideaLEVER for SMTP server, you will need to change the Server port to 2525 as illustrated below.
