IntroductionPOP3 stands for Post Office Protocol (version 3), comprised of mailboxes for email systems so that a user can retrieve email from a central location where the email is stored. POP3 accounts allow users to have mailboxes on a server with their domain name. This means that if you own the domain name ,yourdomain.com, hosted by directNIC and sign up for a directNIC POP3 account, you can receive and send email at bob@yourdomain.com. Our POP3 email service works like any standard email account you would get from an ISP. It does not have a web-based interface at this time. You will access it using a standard email client such as Outlook Express. The maximum size for an outgoing email message is 2MB, including its attachments. Each account can store up to 15MB of email. The price for the primary account is US$10 per year, and for each additional email account for the same domain is US$5 per year. In order to set up POP3 email accounts for your domain, your domain must be on directNIC nameservers, i.e. using one of the directNIC hosting services such as free hosting, bannerless hosting, redirecting, parked, "for sale," and directDNS. Important TermsThe following terms should be replaced with appropriate information you will acquire when creating your POP3 account. · pop.directnic.com. This represents your actual mailserver address. · accountname@yourdomain.com. This represents your actual email address. For example, I created a POP3 account for "joe." This makes the address joe@joesdomain.org. · It is important to note that, unlike most ISP email accounts, you must use your full email address as your username. For most ISPs, in the above example, my username for logging into the mail server would be "joe." However, using directNIC POP3 mail, my username is joe@joesdomain.org. Getting POP3 Email for Your DomainHere are the steps for adding POP3 Email to your domain.
Notes: · If you were previously using a hosting option other than "hosted," "parked," "for sale," "redirected," or "directDNS," there may be a 24-48 hour delay before your new email addresses are fully functional on the Internet. This is because your DNS information might have changed. · Primary email addresses (the first one created) are US$10 each. Secondary email addresses are US$5 each. In order to use POP3 email with a new domain, you must first purchase a new primary address with that domain. (I.e., purchasing POP3 email for firstdomain.com does not mean that POP3 accounts for seconddomain.com will be US$5 each.) Using the New POP3 AccountQuick InstructionsFor those of you who know how to add a new account for whatever mail program you are using, here are the data you need. Once you have created your POP3 account, you should have the following information: · The domain name you purchased POP3 service for · The POP3 account name · The POP3 password .In the "reply to" area of your Email client, you must list your directNIC POP3 address in the "Reply to" box in order to get Authentication from the SMTP servers. Here is how you turn that information into data for your email client. · Your incoming mailserver will be "pop.directnic.com" · Your incoming mail username will be yourname@yourdomain.com · Your outgoing mailserver will also be "pop.directnic.com" Some ISPs may require you to use their SMTP server. In that case, you should contact your ISP to obtain the SMTP server name as well as your username and password with them. Most servers require outgoing server authentication. Please check the option "my outgoing server requires authentication" under the outgoing server tab. If you are using directNIC outgoing server, choose the option "use the same login as my incoming server." If you are using your local ISP's outgoing server, select to use their login. You may need to select "log on to incoming server before Sending mail" setting if you experience the "553 sorry, the sender name and auth login doesn't coincide (#5.7.1)" error.Detailed InstructionsOutlook 2002If you prefer instructions with graphic illustration (screen shots), please go to http://www.directnic.com/reference/index.php?topic=outlook2002Follow the instructions below to configure Outlook 2002 for use with your directNIC POP3 account.
