Accessing your RYA Online e-mail account via Microsoft Outlook By default access to RYA Online's e-mail accounts is via the webmail service through your web browser. You can however access your RYA Online e-mail account via a POP3 mail client. Please Note that if you use a POP3 mail client to access your RYA Online e-mail account, you will only be able to send e-mail when you dial in to RYA Online's system direct. Due to the need for anti-spam rules (to stop unsolicited e-mail being relayed off our server) the RYA Online mail server will only accept e-mail for sending that comes from a valid IP address on the RYA Online system. We do not supply and so therefore can not support Microsoft Outlook software, however we have compiled the following instructions to help you configure Microsoft Outlook to access your RYA Online e-mail account. (The following instructions are for Microsoft Outlook version 8.04.5619. If you are running any other version of Microsoft Outlook, then these instructions will only be a guideline.) 1) Open your copy of Microsoft Outlook, go to the Tools menu and click Services. 2) Click on the Add button and select Internet E-mail then click the OK button. 3) You will be presented with the General screen (see Fig 1). Fig 1 4) Under the Personal Information section set the Full Name as your name and set the E-mail address as your e-mail account@rya-online.net. 5) Under the Mailbox Information section set the Internet Mail Server as post.rya-online.net and set the Account name as your e-mail account (your e-mail address without the @rya-online.net) and set the Password as you password. Please note the account and password are case sensitive and must be entered exactly as they were setup. If you type it in uppercase and it should be lowercase, or visa versa, it will fail. 6) Click on the Connection tab, you will be confronted with the following (see Fig 2).
