In addition to the basic connection information, some POP3 e-mail programs
have advanced features that require additional connection information as shown
below:
- Your e-mail client may have an option available that allows you to leave a
copy of each message on the mail server. Most clients have this option turned
off as the default. Make sure you turn it on or you will lose the ability to
access your messages from other computers, such as your home, work, or public
computer.
- Most e-mail clients have an option to save your password. Do not select
this option for security reasons.
- If you are enclosing files in your e-mail messages to other Dartmouth
users, you should use MIME encoding. If you are enclosing files in your e-mail
messages to people off campus, you should use either BinHex or MIME.
- If your e-mail client also functions as a newsgroup reader, set the name of
the NNTP server to news.dartmouth.edu. Please
note that this option is only available if you are connected to the Dartmouth
network directly by Ethernet, if you dialed in directly to one of the Dartmouth
modem pools, if you are on another (non-Dartmouth) network, or if you
are using the VPN client.
Important note: If you had a Blackberry account at one
point, but no longer use your Blackberry device, you need to make sure you
close this account with Blackberry. If your Blackberry account was set up using
POP, your password will be sent in clear text over the Internet every 15
minutes.
