Step 1: POP collection. We're going to set Office Mail to collect email from an external POP account. Email will be collected and then distributed amongst the Office Mail users by the Local Distribution list. Click on Tools, Settings and then select the POP collection tab at the top. Office Mail can collect mail from any number of POP accounts, but as you can see we have none set up yet. Click on Add to add a new POP account.
Step 2: Add the POP account details We are going to collect all the company's mail in one go - it will then be distributed to the correct user by Office Mail.
Step 3: The account is added. Now we have an external POP account to collect mail for - let's set up external delivery.
Step 4: SMTP delivery. Click on the SMTP delivery tab at the top and enter your ISP's SMTP server. If it requires authentication then tick the box and setup the login and password in the Advanced page.
Step 5: Setup the connection. In order to send and receive external email we must set up a connection to the Internet. Here we are going to use a Dial-up connection called BT 56k. We have also programmed Office Mail to check for new emails every 10 minutes. Click on OK and the external email settings are done! You can then wait for a scheduled collection or click on Send/Recv to perform a manual check.
