Answers
How many email accounts do I get? back to top
All of our plans come with 10 free POP email accounts to use.
You can access these accounts using either our web based mail
client or an email client such as Outlook Express or Eudora.
Will I be able to use Email programs such as Outlook Express? back to top
Yes, you will still be able to use Outlook Express and other email programs with
our service. To configure your email program, follow the instructions listed on our
Email Support Page.
Will I still be able to use my other email accounts? back to top
Yes, you will still be able to use your email accounts at other providers.
You will need to set the Outgoing server to ours, mail.dialup4less.com. This will not affect the email
you send out. Your incoming email for these other accounts will remain
the same.
How can I check my email from other locations? back to top
Using our Web Based Email you can read and write email from any computer connected to the
Internet.
Do I need to be connected to read and write email? back to top
No, you can write a message offline, connect, then send the message. This will free up your phone line while you write your messages. To do so, in your email client (ie: Outlook Express) open the program, and choose the "Work Offline" option. When you go to send the message, you will be given the option to connect.
In our WebMail, you can use for example a program, such as Microsoft Word, to type the message, and then Copy and Paste the message
into our interface when you connect.
What is the maximum size attachment I can send? back to top
There is a 10MB maximum limit on the size of an attachment you can send.
What is the limit on the amount of messages I can have in my mailbox? back to top
Your mailbox is limited to 50MB of storage space. However, when you read your
email in most email clients it is downloaded to your computer and removed
from the server freeing up your storage space on the server.
I periodically send out emails to very large groups of people, is this
allowed? back to top
Yes, provided that you are not sending Spam you can email to as many
recipients as you would like to.
Do you block port 25? back to top
Yes our service by default blocks port 25. Port 25 is commonly referred to as the smtp port. However, if you require
access to a particular smtp server we can make special arrangements for you without a problem.
