What is a POP3 account and how is it
different that just an e-mail address?
With your virtual or sub-domain name you will
receive one POP3 account. A POP3 account is different that just a normal e-mail address
offered by Hotmail or MailExcite because you can send
and receive your e-mail through external programs with a POP3 account.
External programs are much easier to use than browser-based e-mail clients because they
manage your e-mail, can filter incoming mail, and so on.

What external program do you
recommend for retrieving my e-mail?
We strongly recommend Eudora Light
3.05 to send and retrieve your e-mail. Eudora Light is a shareware program made by
Qualcomm Inc. and has many of the same functions as other mail clients.
You can down load from http://www.youthofamerica.com/recommend.html

How do I setup Eudora to retrieve my e-mail?
From any version of Eudora (Light or Pro), select Tools -->
Options, then set your Mail Server to mail.yoursite.com and SMTP server to
smtp.yoursite.com. Enter your login@yoursite.com . Be
sure to use your actual domain name rather than "yoursite.com".
Now simply check your e-mail, you will be prompted for your password. Some versions of
Eudora allow you to save your password and check your e-mail automatically every so often.

How do I setup my account so
anything@mysite.com goes to my_login@mysite.com?
You do not need to do anything to get anything@yoursite.com
to forward to your login@yoursite.com. We set this up as a default when you signed up with
us. If you wish for certain e-mail addresses, such as sales@mydomain.com to forward
somewhe re other than login@yoursite.com, you will need to set this up through The
Personal Control Panel.

By default, anything@yoursite.com (sales@yoursite.com,
abcxyz@yoursite.com, 38ck3gh#@yoursite.com) will automatically forward to
login@yoursite.com. You need to visit your Personal
Control Panel to cofigure your e-mail for warding settings.

Can I have e-mail forwarded to my
account(s) ?
No, this is impossible. You cannot have e-mail forwarded
from an e-mail address unless it is a site hosted on youthofamerica.net. For example, you
could not forward your e-mail at America Online to your POP3 account at
Youthofamerica.net.

What is an e-mail list and how do I set
one up on my accout?
An e-mail list allows you to send the same message to
multiple e-mail addresses in one setting. You just specify one time who you would like on
your e-mail address yourself one time. You can later remove any e-mail addresses from your
list. Th is feature is apart of your Personal Control Panel, which is where you can setup
your e-mail list.
