Setting Up Your Digital Indigo POP Mail Account

If you choose to use POP Mail to receive your e-mail you must first download a POP Mail client program such as Eudora, Pegasus, or Netscape Communicator.

After getting the appropriate software you must configure your POP client to connect to the Digital Indigo servers. There are three important settings that you must configure:

• POP Server (Also called Incoming Mail Server)
• SMTP Server
• E-mail Account Name

Your POP Server is mail.digitalindigo.net. Your e-mail account name is the login name you received when you registered for your Digital Indigo account. If you are unsure of your e-mail name, contact Digital Indigo for assistance.

Finally, your SMTP server is the mail server of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). For instance if you receive your internet connection from the company called Supernet at www.supernet.net your mail server is mail.supernet.net.

Typically your SMTP server will be your ISP's domain name with the mail prefix on it. Important: If you are unsure of your SMTP server contact your ISP or your network administrator.

After entering the required settings into your POP client, you should be able to connect to your e-mail by clicking the Get Messages button in your POP Mail program.

Customizing E-Mail Address Domain Name
Virtual host customers (those that have their own domain name, hosted through Digital Indigo) will most likely want their own domain name to be displayed in their e-mail address. If you are a virtual host customer, substitute mail.digitalindigo.net with your domain name in the e-mail address portion of your POP client's configuration. Thus, if you owned the domain abc.com, enter your_username@abc.com as your e-mail address in your POP program.
