1. Real Name - You may enter your real name in upper or lower case with spaces.  This name will appear in all outgoing messages.  A real name is required, but is doesn't have to be your own. You may choose to use a nickname if you prefer to remain anonymous.

3. E-Mail Server Names - The e-mail server should be set to POP3.  The incoming mail server should be entered as mail.95net.com, while the outgoing server should be smtp.95net.com.  A message will appear stating that the "Server names do not appear to be valid, would you like to use them anyway?"  Click Yes to both questions.

4. Mail Log-On - You MUST enter your user name and password in lowercase.  Your user name is only the first part of your e-mail address NOT including "@95net.com".  Do not click "Log on using SPA".

6. Internet Mail Connection - For dial-up PPP connections, select "Connect using my phone line".  If you are connecting through a LAN ISDN, select "Connect using my local area network".  Make sure that 95Net is listed for the Dial-Up Networking connection.  There is no need to click Add or Properties.

• The Advanced tab has one option that may be used to check mail from 2 different locations.  You can choose to Leave a copy of messages on server for the convenience of checking mail at home and at work without losing anything. It's important however to make sure to delete old messages from the server from time to time because too many old messages will slow down the Sending and Receiving of mail messages.
