The 100 e-mail POP3 accounts included with your virtual domain services with Techtrade are different from normal e-mail addresses offered by Hotmail, MailExcite and others because you can send, receive and manage your e-mail through external mail programs. Your mail is collected on the Techtrade server and is being retrieved directly by you. External mail programs are the best and easiest way to keep track of your e-mail. You also have the option to retrieve and manage your messages through your Personal Control Panel. This web-based solution is useful since you have access to your account from wherever you are in the world if you have a connection to the internet.

We recommend Eudora Light 3.06 as the external program for sending and retrieving your e-mail. Eudora Light is a freeware program made by Qualcomm Inc. and has many of the same functions as other mail clients.

You may download Eudora Light from the Techtrade anonymous ftp server at ftp://techtrade.com or from sites like http://www.download.com.

From any version of Eudora (Light or Pro), select Tools --> Options, then set your Mail Server to mail.yoursite.com and SMTP server to smtp.yoursite.com. Enter your login@yoursite.com. Be sure to use your actual domain name rather than "yoursite.com".

Now simply check your e-mail, you will be prompted for your password. Some versions of Eudora allow you to save your password and check your e-mail automatically every so often. 

If you are unfamiliar with Eudora you will be interested in a free tutorial on this program. Download and unzip the eudora.zip file from the Techtrade anonymous ftp server at ftp://techtrade.com to view this e-mail tutorial.
