Connection Tab

The Connection tab contains information on how to connect to your mail server. There are two ways to connect to the Digital Voice World mail server. You can connect through a Dial-up Networking connection (modem) or you can connect through the current network.

Connecting to Internet Mail

Choose the appropriate connection type listed in this section.

Connect Using the Network

This connection allows you to login to your mail server through your existing network connection. Your network configuration must support access to the Internet. Please see your network administrator for more details.

Connect Using the Modem

For a modem connection, the Internet Mail Service looks for a Dialup Networking connection to establish a login with Digital Voice World. Once logged in to Digital Voice World, it attempts to connect to the mail server.

If this section is dimmed or not available, it may indicate that the Windows Dialup Networking feature is not installed on your computer. Please refer to the section below titled "If Dialup Networking is not installed."

After selecting "connect using the modem," you must define a Dialup Networking connection to use. You can select an existing connection from the list, or you can use Add New Entry to create a new connection.

Add New Entry

If you do not have an existing connection, you can add a new connection by clicking the Add Entry. This starts the Dialup Networking Connection Wizard.

Edit Entry

You can modify an existing connection by clicking Edit Entry; this will take you to the existing connection's Properties page.

Transferring Internet Mail

This section specifies how messages are to be transferred.

Work Off-line and Use Remote Mail

Click this check box to select it, to initially display message headers. You can then scan the headers using Remote Mail on the Tools menu, to mark the messages you want to receive, copy, or delete. While using Remote Mail, you can compose messages and send them to your Outbox at any time, and send and receive messages when you connect to your mailbox.

Clear this check box to deliver all messages from the mail server automatically. You can use the Schedule button to define how often Outlook checks for mail.

Schedule

Click this option to set the time interval for message delivery. This applies to both modem and network connections.

Log File

Click this option to create a file that records events during your mail sessions. A log file is useful for troubleshooting when you have problems with Internet Mail.
