Blacknight

Go to https://altmail.blacknight.com

Register365

Go to http://yourdomain.com/webmail (replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name).  Or if that doesn’t work then go to http://webmail4.register365.com/

If none of the above work for you then you could try this 3rd party webmail checker.  http://mail2web.com/

When you are unable to check your email for a period of time, for example when you are on holiday or at a conference it is a good idea to let people know.   This can be done in the form of an auto responder or out of office email which is an automatic email that is setup in your email control panel.

Here are a few ways to do it, depending on the hosting you use:

Setting up an autoresponder with Register365:

You will need your email username and password for this.   Login to your email control panel (this can be found at http://your-domain/controlpanel – replace your-domain with your actual domain name).

Then choose email settings then autoresponder

You can then enter your autoreponder details

An autoresponder should include alternative contact information and information on when you will deal with their email

Setting up an autoresponder with Blacknight

Log into cp.blacknight.com using the email address and the password for your email address
Click on Autoresponder on the left hand side of the screen
Now click Add New Autoresponder

Remember to turn off your auto responder when you get back into the office.

There are a number of solutions for sending people large files and email is not one of the best as it is not really a file sharing system.

See this article for reasons why sending large attachment by email doesn’t work

Here are some alternate ways of sending large file attachments

1. Dropbox – Share files across machines, with friends and publicly for free Dropbox is a utility that allows you to instantly share files between machines, and even with other users elsewhere on the internet. Up to 2GB is free.
2. WeTransfer – an online file-transferring platform where you give them your intended email recipient and your email, upload the file and the rest is history.  This is my preferred solution and something I use a lot as it makes it so easy for the person receiving the file.

Wetransfer – a useful diagram showing you how to use their service for file transfers

Sometimes you may be asked to provide the internet headers or email message headers to your email hosts so that support can troubleshoot any problems.

Email message headers provide a list of technical details about the message, such as who sent it, what software was used, and the route it took.  This information can provide valuable details on tracking an email source and how to it got to you, or why it never arrived at its intended source.

Here are details on how to get that information from different email software

Your email client program will usually hide the full header or display only lines, such as From, To, Date, and Subject, see below for more information on pulling headers for your email client:

1. Outlook 2003
2. Outlook 2007
3. Outlook 2010
4. Outlook Express
5. Outlook 97
6. Outlook 98
7. Outlook 2000
8. Outlook 2002
9. Microsoft Exchange
10. Zimbra
11. Entourage
12. Mac OS X Mail
13. Outlook Express for Macintosh
14. Gmail (works for Google Apps as well)
15. Yahoo!
16. AOL
17. Hotmail
18. Eudora
19. Netscape, Mozilla or Thunderbird
20. Lotus Notes
21. Pine
22. XtraMail
23. Pegasus Mail
24. Claris Emailer
25. Mail Warrior
26. Juno
27. Novell Groupwise
28. Thunderbird

Here is the information you need to setup your email if you host with Register365

Incoming mail settings

To collect your mail, you will need to enter the following details into your email program.

POP3 Incoming Mail Server: pop3.reg365.net (or pop3.{your-domain-name} once it has resolved correctly) for a POP3 mailbox
IMAP Incoming Mail Server: imap.reg365.net for an IMAP enabled mailbox
Username: {your-domain-name}_{username} for any mailboxes you have set up
Password: the current password for the mailbox you want to connect to
You can find a list of available mailboxes in your online Register365 Control Panel, under Domain Names > Email & FTP > Users and Email Rules in the Users and mailboxes section

If you want to be able to synchronise email between devices then enable the email address for IMAP and use the IMAP incoming mail server on both devices.

Outgoing mail settings

You need to have Authenticated SMTP service turned on for you account.  Once you have that then you set the password for SMTP (please note this affects all your mailbox accounts)

SMTP Outgoing Server: server: smtp.reg365.net
username: {your-domain-name}
password: {your chosen password}

Register365 does not come with Authenticated SMTP as standard so if you don’t have an SMTP password then contact me and I can set that up.

If you need help configuring your email software for Register365 then this article may help.

If you email is with Blacknight then these are the settings you need:

SMTP Outgoing Server: smtp1r.cp.blacknight.com (or mail.blacknight.com
