First-Time Users: Configuring the Power Zone™ E-Mail Application
Important!
The Power Zone™ Plus Notebook E-mail application and VTech® Desktop
Software E-mail Agent are compatible only with POP3/SMTP E-mail accounts.
The E-mail application is not compatible with web-based E-mail accounts. If you
are not sure what type of E-mail account you have please contact your Internet
Service Provider (ISP) or the provider of your e-mail service.
1. Before configuring the Power Zone™ E-mail application, make sure you have
your POP3/SMTP E-mail information ready. If you do not have the required
information, please contact your Internet Service Provider for assistance. You
should have the following information on hand:
• ISP User Name and Password
• Your E-mail name (For example, if your e-mail address is [e-mail],
then your E-mail name would probably be alan.)
• Your E-mail password
• Phone number you dial to connect to your ISP. You can add up to three
different phone numbers.
• DNS Domain(the DNS domain appears after the @ in your e-mail address.
For example, the DNS domain for the address [e-mail] is vtech.com)
• Primary DNS IP
• Secondary DNS IP
• Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server
• Incoming Mail (POP3) server
• Reply E-mail Address
2. Press the E-mail button on the Power Zone™ Plus Notebook keyboard, to
open the E-mail application. The first time you enter the E-mail application, a
pop-up box will appear asking for your POP3/SMTP E-mail information.
Complete each field.
3. If you want to leave your messages on your ISP’s E-mail server, click on the box.
4. After configuring the Power Zone™ E-mail application, you can begin writing
E-mail. See the section, Using the Power Zone™ E-mail Application for
additional information.
