Lotus Notes 7 Help - Using a phone line to access Internet mail

GETTING CONNECTED

Using a phone line to access Internet mail
If your physical connection is a telephone line with a dialup (digital/analog) modem, you need a "Network Dialup" connection to use Internet mail with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or on a network server (an Internet mail server) in your organization.

Tip You can create a Network Dialup connection to Internet mail either instead of, or in addition to, a Notes Direct Dialup connection to mail on a Domino server.

1. Gather the following:

Your e-mail address assigned by your ISP (for example, jsmith@myisp.com), or your Internet-style name in your organization (for example, jsmith@acme.com)
Your login name and password assigned by your ISP or organization
Your incoming server address (for example, pop.myisp.com or imap.myisp.com)
Your outgoing server address if you use SMTP instead of a Domino server for outgoing mail (for example, smtp.myisp.com).
The phone number of your Internet service provider (ISP) or organization's network server, and any prefix
The Internet domain name of your ISP (for example, myisp.com) or of your organization's network server

2. (Optional) Switch to the location where you want to use this connection method, for example, Home (Network Dialup).

3. Choose File - Preferences - Client Reconfiguration Wizard.

4. Select "Internet mail servers (POP or IMAP, SMTP)," and in the drop-down list, select "Network Dialup."

5. Click Next and answer the questions.

Note After you complete this type of configuration, the current Location document in your Personal Address Book contains your e-mail address. Notes also:

Creates Account documents for your incoming and outgoing mail servers, with the necessary login and password information.
Creates Network Dialup server Connection documents to your mail servers for each of your incoming and outgoing mail accounts.
