Incoming Mail (POP or IMAP)

For incoming mail server type, we allow encrypted POP3 and IMAP access. POP3 downloads mail to your PC, while IMAP keeps the mail on the server. By storing your email on the server with IMAP all of your mail will be available when you use our web based system. With POP3, only new messages will show on the web system.

For customers who have signed up for the SSL hosting account, you may substitute www.nefw.net for www.yourdomain.com in the incoming and outgoing servers section. Everyone else should use www.nefw.net, or you may receive errors from your email client.

The examples below use Outlook Express. If you require assistance configuring your email settings, please send a message to help@nefw.net.

Other Tips

Some helpful tips on configuring your email client:

• Your username is your FULL email address.


• It is not necissary to put your e-mail address in the "send replies to" field. Modern mail client will automatically know who to send the message back to.


• Most mail clients have the ability to store your password. While this can be a great time saver, anyone with access to your computer will be able to check your mail.


• Don't be fooled into sending personal information requested via email! There are many scams that will solicit passwords, credit card information, etc. No ligitimate business will ever ask you for your information in an e-mail. If you aren't sure, call the company that appears to be originating the message and ask.
