 Setting Up
SMTP Authorization for Windows Vista Mail
1. Open Windows Mail and choose
‘Accounts’ from the ‘Tools’ dropdown menu item at the top of the screen.
2. Select the first Minet email account that is in the Accounts
list and click the ‘Properties’ button on the right side of the window.
3. Select the tab labeled ‘Servers’ at the top of the Properties
window for the account. Under ‘Outgoing
Mail Server’ at the bottom of the window click the button labeled ‘Settings…’
4. Place a dot
in the radio button labeled ‘Log on using’. Enter your complete Minet email address,
including the ‘@minetfiber.com’ suffix, into the field labeled ‘E-mail
username’. Enter your Minet email
password in the field labeled password, being sure to use upper/lower case
if necessary. Click OK to continue.
5. Select the tab labeled 'Advanced'.
Under Server Port Numbers in the field labeled 'Outgoing Mail (SMTP) enter '465'. Put a check mark in the box
just below this labeled 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)'. Click the OK button at the bottom of the page.'
At this point you will be taken
back to the email properties dialog box for the account. Click the OK button at the bottom of the
window. You should then be back to the
Internet Accounts window shown in Step 2.
If you have additional Minet email accounts, follow the SMTP
authorization setup steps for each one.
When finished, click the button labeled ‘Close’ at the bottom of the
Internet Accounts window to return to your Vista Mail inbox.
6.Click the
button in the menu bar at the top labeled ‘Send/Receive’. If you do not have any pending incoming
or outgoing email and the SMTP authorization change you made were
successful Windows Mail will quickly complete a send/receive email cycle
without error.
If the SMTP changes you made were
not successful Windows Mail will return an error message or ask you to enter
username / password information. This is
most likely because of a mistype in entering your email address and/or password
in the Outgoing Mail Server dialog box.
Go back through the SMTP authentication steps, verify the spelling of
your email address, and re-type your email password, being sure to use
upper/lower case if applicable. I you
are still receiving errors or are unable to access your email you will need to
contact Minet for further assistance.
Please Note : You will receive a notification regarding a Security Certificate when sending your email after setting up SMTP Authentication. Simply choose to accept the Security Certificate..
