This will bring up the Account Settings Dialog
box.
If you have any previous
email account(s) setup for you Getwireless/Lazerlink
internet accounts you will need to remove
them once the change over is final. This
will not delete any previous mails, only
the account information. We will discuss
this future at the end of this document.
For now, we are going to create a new account"
for the new email server. To do this click
on the "New Account" button from the Account
Settings Dialog box. Select the ISP option
and click Next.
This will bring up the Identity
Dialog box. Here we want to enter your full
name and email address. Don't worry if this
information conflicts with other accounts
already entered. Please note that the values
shown here are examples only. You will need
to enter the values that reflect your actual
account information.
When finished click Next.
We use the POP3 mail exchange
protocol, so select the POP option and enter
your email server name. If you have chosen
to use the lazerlink.net domain, then your
email server name would be mail.lazerlink.net.
If you have chosen to use either the statecollege.com
or altoona.com domains then enter mail.statecollege.com
or mail.altoona.com respectively for the
server name. When finished click Next.
Here is were things have
to entered in just right or else things
will not work. The "User Name" value should
be entered in like this;
USERNAME%DOMAIN.NET
(Your user name)(the percent sign)(Your
email domain)
So if your user name is jsmith and you are
going to be receiving email at the statecollege.com
domain then your user name here would be;
"jsmith%statecollege.com"
When finished click Next.
Finally enter an Account
Name to refer to for this account information
and click Next.
If everything work correctly,
then you should see the Congratulations
Dialog. Please make special note that the
"User Name" field here has the format discussed
above (username%domain.net.) If you see
only the user name (ex. jsmith) or if you
see an "@" symbol in the name, then you
have entered in something incorrectly. Please
remove this account and try again. Otherwise
click Finish, you are done. Please see additional
notes below.
Additional Notes:
OK! you should be ready for the change over.
Once you have received the final email notifying
you of the change over, then you should
no longer need the email account entries
for the previous email server. You can safely
remove those accounts without worrying about
loosing stored mails.
