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.
WEB MAIL. To use the WebMail, you can connect to this url; https://webmail.dreamhost.com
The Email Help sections have detailed sections for configuring these email applications;
Apple Mail (Tiger), and Leopard with SSL
Entourage 2004,
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)

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.
- 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,
- 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.
