Configuring an email client can be easily done by simply following a few simple rules. It always helps if you have in depth knowledge of computers and their operating systems. However, even if you only have general knowledge of computers you should still be able to set up and configure an email client without any real problems.
Prior to configuring the email client it is critical that you know the email server information. Without knowing or having specific information about the email server it will prove quite difficult to configure an email client successfully. In addition, you must also have knowledge of the proper settings for the email protocol prior to configuration. It helps a great deal to have knowledge of POP-3 and IMAP.
It is important to remember that all incoming and outgoing server information is available within the client portal. The client portal should provide a wealth of information when configuring an email client.
It is important to remember that during the configuration process Nexcess does not support secure password authentication. Therefore, any password authentication must be completely disabled for the process to be completed. Also, only SSL encryption can be used during the process therefore SSL encryption must be chosen.
When you select SSL any and all outgoing data will automatically be encrypted through TLS. Nexcess does in fact support TLS. Not everyone is aware that TLS is an extension of SSL.
Finally, in order to successfully complete the email configuration you must have an email account name as well as a server address and domain name. This information is fairly easy to create during the configuring process. Most importantly, you must have an email password in order to access any account associated with configuring an email client. Passwords can normally be changed at any time. It is actually recommended that you change your chosen passwords every so often for your own protection. It may also be a good idea to proactively monitor your exchange server processes using something like one of Dotcom Monitor’s exchange server management tools or a free or other paid solution. How you accomplish this is up to you, but either way you should make sure that you’re on top of the uptime/downtime of your exchange server.
User name and password must be authenticated in order to be able to send and receive email. Once the authentication process is complete you should have no problem with sending and receiving emails which includes any attachments or documents.
