Important:

If you can receive your@SBAMUG.com email, but suddenly can’t send; try change your sending SMTP port to 587. APOP password encryption is not supported & will not work. Passwords must be at least 9 characters long, and not a dictionary word. Thank you.

The Email Help sections have detailed sections for configuring these email applications;

Apple Mail (Tiger), and Leopard with SSL

Entourage 2004,

Emailer&

OutlookExpress.

Other email programs are set up in a similar way. If you’d like to make a nice set of screen shots for another email program for our server, I’ll be happy to post it here.

Basic settings for SBAMUG mail: (you want IMAP, not POP)

Account type: IMAP

Incoming IMAP server: imap.dreamhost.com

Default ports.

You have a new SBAMUG.com mailbox and/or website.

Your username & password are probably as you requested. You received your username and password by email. Substitute in your own user name & your own password, as you received in the email, into the below instructions.

Here are the mail settings:

  • your email address: username@sbamug.com
  • pop mail server: pop.dreamhost.com
  • smtp mail server: smtp.dreamhost.com
    • Requires authentication (same as receiving server)
    • Port 465
    • SSL on (SSL usually works better here than TLS)

Email InBox Management

If you get a lot of “list mail” or “eGroup” mail, and it’s cluttering up your email InBox, you might like to know how to have those group emails sort themselves into a folder so you can look at them when you’re ready, after reading the jokes & virus warnings your friends and family send you.

Here’s how for Apple Mail,

PowerMail &
Entourage


FTP Settings:

  • server: ftp.sbamug.com
  • path: (leave blank)
  • username: username
  • password: password
    Of course, you’ll need to use your own user name & password! 🙂

You’ll need a FTP client application to upload your web files to your web folder on the SBAMUG web server. Unless your site is complex, we suggest that you put all html files & images in the same folder. Paul Bauer has written up a How-To on making & uploading a website. Read it here.
