What
does that mean?
1)
Email stored on the SaintMail IMAP
server can be read from a desktop computer at home, a workstation
at the office, and a notebook computer while traveling, without
having to transfer messages back and forth between computers
at different locations!
In
order to Send and Receive mail, you must log in to that server
and access your account using an email program (such as Outlook,
Outlook Express, Eudora, or Netscape Mail) and your Internet
service.
Generally,
the ways to obtain a POP account are by subscribing to an
Internet service or by purchasing a web hosting account for
web site publishing.

3)
A WebMail account is an
email account that uses a web-based program to send and receive
mail so it can be done over the Internet. It does not
require the use of an email program on your computer or trying
to "figure out" how to program one.
**Because
your SaintMail account is a WebMail account, you don't have
to worry with trying to add it to your present email program
- you can simply use it on the Internet!
AND
- there is never any of that "down" time
or "waiting" time to access your mail. All of your
email is held on our IMAP server in a file that belongs only
to you and to your messages.
Using
SaintMail With Your Email Program
How
do I add my SaintMail account to my email program?
All email programs vary in this. First, you must determine
if your email program supports multiple accounts or "mailboxes".
We suggest looking under additional accounts, adding
accounts, or mailboxes.If it does, then consult
the Help section for your particular program. It will guide
you through the steps for adding your SaintMail account.You
will need the following information:
- POP
or IMAP Server address:saintmail.net
- SMTP
Server address:your local ISP's mail settings.
Do
I have to change my Internet service?
No.
Your email program will ask you how you want to connect (who
is your service) to the Internet to check your SaintMail account
when you add it to your program. You can use whatever Internet
service you choose. It makes no difference. One service can
check and access many different email accounts.
*IMPORTANT*
Your
SaintMailaddress is @saintmail.net NOT .com
Using
SaintMail From The Web - WebMail Center
How
do I check my SaintMail email from the Web?
Easy.
Go to our Home page at http://www.saintmail.net.
Then click on Log In. This will place you at the SaintMail
ExpressEmail Check page. At SaintMail Express you will enter
your Username and Password that you received in the confirmation
email sent by us. All you have to do is enter your password
and GO!
SaintMail
also has many locations throughout the Internet on other sites
that allow SaintMail users to Log In right from the page they
are on.Whether using SaintMail Express or using one of our
Remote Log In locations, users should enter only their
username in the Username section. DO NOT use
the complete extension of @saintmail.net when entering your
username to Log In. It will return an Invalid message and
deny you access to the mail area.
*IMPORTANT- Make sure
to enter your username/password with the correct uppercase
and lowercase letters.
Hint:
We always assign usernames in all lowercase letters.
If you registered a username of "Mary", then your
actual username is mary and your address is mary@saintmail.net.
You
can still receive mail addressed "Mary@saintmail.net"
but you can only access it with the username "mary",
in lowercase.
Passwords
are registered in the exact form that we received them
using both uppercase and lowercase letters.
What
if I forget my password?
Thats
not a problem. From SaintMail Express there is a link that
will take users to an area where they can contact SaintMail
Administration to send them their password. Or, you can access
the Get Password page by clicking the Password button on the
navigation bar of any SaintMail Web page.
How
do I read my messages?
When
you Log In you are taken directly to your InBox. There you

for you at your InBox. To read a message, simply click the
