Email Set-up and Configuration

Email or electronic mail is one of the top most ways of communication worldwide. Yesteryears, this emailing is referred to receiving mails via post offices which will take days, weeks, months or even years before you receive it. Now, with our technology, this type of receiving messages from our family and friends all over the world has been made easy for everyone and this is why Email or Electronic Mail was created in order for you to receive the messages instantly.

The Electronic Mail or email requires a computer and an Internet connection. Now, in order for you to send and receive emails from your family and friends, you must have an email account. You can make a free email account through Yahoo! Mail, Google Mail, Hotmail and etc. Some email accounts are being paid and those are the ones that came with your Internet Service Providers. Like from AT&T – Bellsouth, Sprint, Comcast and etc. Ones you have created an email account, you will then have a mailbox where in you can use it to send and receive your emails. The ones that are from Yahoo! Mail, Google Mail and Hotmail uses a web based mailbox and the ones that has an email account from their ISP’s or even a work email uses an email client. It is a computer program that will enable you to send and receive emails. Examples are Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Mac Mail, etc. These programs installed on your computer needs particular settings so that you will be able to send and receive the email messages. And the most important settings would be the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers or the POP3 and SMTP Servers from your ISP or from your work settings so that you can use these email clients on your computer.

Here are the details needed when you set-up an email client:
1.    Display Name e.g. Jane Doe
2.    Email Address e.g. janedoe@iglobalsupport.com
3.    My Incoming Mail Server: POP3
4.    Incoming Mail Server: pop.iglobalsupport.com/mail.iglobalsupport.com
5.    Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.isp.com/mail.isp.com
6.    Username: janedoe
7.    Password

This is really exciting since you are communicating with the people you love and you care about easily through emailing and by using an email client, you can also forward a message, view photos and videos but things are not made perfectly. There will be times that your email client won’t work since it’s giving you an error. You’re having trouble in sending or receiving emails due to error codes and error messages. Most of the time these errors come up when you first set-up the email client with your email account and you might have typed the settings incorrectly or your email server may not be responding and this is the reason why you look for computer support through hotline numbers asking them for an assistance saying “fix my computer” or “my email is not working.”

Well, each error codes and each error messages has its own description and advisable fix but you can’t find the description and the advisable fix immediately. Some are located on the Help and Support section on your email client and I don’t think that it’s so easy to find it. That’s why iGlobalSupport.com has the answers to most of your questions and to most of the issues that you have with your email clients. You will have your own personal technician to have it fixed then up and running again in no time.
