Answers

1: How do I set up my new FraserValleyBC.com email address?
We will give you examples for Eudora, Netscape and Microsoft Outlook

  1. You put your POP account (username *and usually followed by the @fraservalleybc.com) in the Getting Started section of the Tools: Options menu or Special: Settings in Eudora.

  2. E-mail address: Your e-mail address is what other people use to write to you. Our example: choice@fraservalleybcm. You put your e-mail address in the "Return Address" field of Eudora. (that's in the Tools: Options or Special: Settings menu, under Personal Information).

  3. SMTP server: Your SMTP server is what Eudora contacts to send your outgoing mail. Your ISP/company/university may call this an "outgoing mail server." It would look something like this "example: fraservalleybc.com."
    NOTE:
    When entering your SMTP info, do not put the word(s) 'mail' or 'SMTP' if front of the fraservalleybc.com
    The SMTP server goes in the Hosts section of the Tools: Options or Special: Settings menu in Eudora.

One last note... Connection Method:
Many people are unsure which option they should select in the Connection Method area of the Getting Started screen. (That's in the Tools: Options or Special: Settings menu, depending on which version of Eudora you're using). The answer is that you should almost certainly choose the "Winsock" (Windows) or "TCP/IP" or Mac TCP" (Macintosh) setting. That's the default, because it's the kind of connection most people have. You should only choose the "Dialup" or "Shell account" (Windows) or "Communications Toolbox" (Macintosh) setting if you're positive you have a special kind of account called a shell account. One way to tell which kind of account you have is that if you can use a web browser, it's not a shell account. If you're not sure, you should probably assume that you don't have a shell account. Your account provider (ISP/company/university) can tell you whether you have a shell account or PPP/SLIP/Network account, if you're in doubt.
