In addition to mail forwarding options, e-mail can be retrieved from POP mailboxes using a program like Eudora, Netscape
Mail, or Internet Mail. As a Univox web account holder you have access to at least one master POP account and up to 12 additional POP's.
PPP Internet access is required to send and receive e-mail. This means you will need to have a dial-up account to connect to the Internet with your local ISP (Internet Service Provider).
The Master POP Account
By default, all e-mail addressed to your domain is forwarded to the default mail forwarding address which is yourname@univox.com. As such, e-mail addressed to anyone@yourdomain.com will be forwarded to your "real" e-mail address. An alternative to having mail forwarded is to retrieve mail from POP mailboxes.
The master POP account is merely an alternative to the default mail forwarding address. If you remove the default mail forwarding address all that was normally forwarded to that address will be held in the master POP account. The additional POP accounts allow for more privacy in retrieving e-mail to specific addresses.
To retrieve e-mail from the master POP account, you must first remove the default mail forwarding address. By removing the default mail forwarding address, all mail addressed to your domain can be retrieved from the master POP account rather than being forwarded. The additional POP accounts are for specific aliases which require their own private mail box. Use the following settings to configure your mail program to access the master POP account:
POP3 Server Name: mail.yourdomain.com
Your master POP account password will be the same
as your web account password unless you have specifically changed it.
Configurable POP Accounts
If you are a Univox account holder with either the standard or executive hosting plans you are given several additional POP mailboxes to use. Instructions on configuring these boxes can be found on the faq titled "Virtual POP".
SMTP Server Name: (the SMTP server of your local ISP here)
Account Name: your username
