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 are not using ideaLEVER for sending email, then you will need to check with your Internet Service Provider for information on using their SMTP server to send mail. If you are using ideaLEVER for sending mail, instructions and screen shots are below.
Let's get started in setting up your ideaLEVER Email account.
Click "Accounts" on the top navigation, and click the first icon, which is for adding a new account.
When you have entered your email address and password, check these two checkboxes:
Then click "Next"
Incoming mail server will be mail.idealever.com, using the default port of 110. Note that the logon user name must be your full email address.
If you are using your own ISP's outgoing server, then enter it in the Outgoing server information box, and leave the port at the default which is 25, unless they direct you to use a different port.
If you are using ideaLEVER for sending mail:
When you click "Next" this wizard will end.
If you are using ideaLEVER for sending email, your work is not yet done!
Click on "Accounts" in the top nav, but this time click the third icon, which is for changing the properties of an existing email account.
When you get this window, click the "Settings" button in the lower right.
The account name and password will have been sent to you in an email. The account name will start with brain\
Uncheck the box that says "Leave messages on the server."
If you are thinking that you should leave the messages on the server, there is only one possible reason why you would want to do that, and that would be if you want to download your email to a different computer, such as one at home.
It is not a good idea to leave messages on the server as your mailbox could fill up (you have a max of 75 megs) and then legitimate email could be bounced back.
