Links & Instructions
Below are the most common settings needed to set up most POP3/IMAP Email Clients or Devices:
Follow the instructions below to set up a new email account.
(WARNING: Don't delete or modify the old one if it already exists, or you might lose your old messages.)
When setting up:
POP (if you aren't sure, choose this one) - choose POP and the incoming server port will default to 110
IMAP (this one can be more difficult to use) - choose IMAP and the incoming server port will default to 143
All other settings are the same for both POP & IMAP.
Note: Substitute the first part of your email address for "user."
Username = user@tribalschool.org
Password = Enter your password (you should have received this from Terry)
Incoming Mail Server = mail.tribalschool.org (see note above for incoming port # - POP or IMAP)
Outgoing Mail Server = mail.tribalschool.org
Outgoing Server Requires Authentication (typically found in advanced options or settings)
Do NOT check "Log on Using Secure Password Authentication"
Use the same Username and Password as Incoming or select "Use Same Settings as Incoming"
Outgoing Server Port = 587
This is subject to change based on the individual preferences of your ISP, but use 587 unless told not to.
Note - Make sure you are not choosing an SSL type, this option should be turned off, or "None" should be selected.
It may take up to 4 hours for the mailbox to be fully functional.
See other instructions (look lower on this page) for specific computer types and devices, i.e. iPhone.
Contact Terry if you need help or have questions.
