Using email on the Qube 3
Cobalt Qube 3 User Manual 39
Setting up your email client
Ensure that the following information is entered into your email client on your
personal computer.
1. Email address. The format is either
<username>@domainname (see the note below) or
<username>@hostname.domainname
(for example, [e-mail]) where:
• <username> is the user name assigned to you (for example, myname)
• <hostname> is the name assigned to the Qube 3 (for example, qube3)
• <domainname> is either the official domain name that is registered with
an ICANN-accredited registrar (for example, “cobalt.com”), or an
intranet domain name specific to your network. Obtain this information
from your ISP. If your Qube 3 is integrated into a larger network, consult
with your network administrator for this information.
2. SMTP server. The format is hostname.domainname (for example,
qube3.cobalt.com).
3. POP3 server. The format is hostname.domainname (for example,
qube3.cobalt.com).
4. IMAP server. The format is hostname.domainname (for example,
qube3.cobalt.com).
✍-
Note: If you check your mail through an external client (for
example, Microsoft Outlook, Netscape Messenger or Qualcomm’s
Eudora), you can enable an option to save a copy on the email
server for a number of days.
✍-
Note: To use the shorter email format <username>@domainname,
you must enter the domain name in the email parameters table, in
the field “Receive email addressed to these hosts/domains.”
✍-
Note: Occasionally, an email application asks for an “incoming”
mail server. The incoming mail server is the POP3 server.
