Configuring
Microsoft Internet Mail
Microsoft
Internet Mail arrived with Internet Explorer version 3 and has been since
replaced by Outlook Express. There has been one major "bug" in
Internet Mail that you should be are aware of.... and that is it's ability
to lose email that ends with two carriage return/line feed
characters (basically, two blank lines). Microsoft never bothered to fix
that problem because it dropped Internet Mail and switched over to Outlook
Express. So be warned!
One
reminder. Don't put a capital letter P before your username
anywhere in your E-Mail configuration.
If this
is your first time running Internet Mail the Wizard will automatically
start and walk you through the setup.
If you
wish to review your settings, then click on
Mail > Options.
The Send
Tab
If you wish to set up your email program so you can write
messages "off-line" then take
a look at the check box in front of "Send Messages Immediately."
Uncheck this option. This will allow you to write messages while
offline. Otherwise, when you click on the "send" button after
composing a new message, Internet Mail will attempt to deliver your
message right away.
The Read Tab
To empty the trash folder
each time you exit Internet Mail, check the option "Empty Messages
from the 'Deleted Items' folder on exit." This will prevent you
from taking up disk space storing all of your deleted message in the
Deleted Folder.
The Server Tab
(this is the important one)
Enter your full name
in the "Name" box.
Enter your complete
email address, in the form of login_name@eagle.ca,
in the "Email Address" box.
Enter mail.eagle.ca in
the "Outgoing Mail (SMTP)" Server box
Enter mail.eagle.ca in
the "Incoming Mail (POP3)" Server box.
Enter your login_name
in the "Pop3 Account" box.
Enter your password
in the "Password" box.
Remember, your username and
password are case sensitive so be sure to enter these items using lower
case letters!
Now click on "Apply"
and then "OK."

to the Email Configuration page.
