A. Yes. Unlike many other personal publishing service providers, openZpace incorporates a powerful integrated IMAP4 email facility and you will be allocated an email address when you join. Your email address will take the form of "your-name@your-account.openzpace.com"
Additionally, if your account supports this feature, you can access your openZpace mail account using any mail client that uses the IMAP4/POP3 and SMTP mail protocols. Examples of such mail clients include Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express or Mozilla Thunderbird.
To enable the use of these mail clients:
- Select 'Settings' from the main menu and verify that the 'Account capabilites' section shows that external mail clients are enabled on you account.
- Select 'Users' from the main menu and then click the 'Edit account settings'
icon for any user that you wish to have this facility and enable the 'Mail clients' option.
To configure a mail client:
- Set both the incoming and outgoing mailservers to be 'mail.thezpace.com'
- Set the main account logon username to be the full openzpace email address (eg: abc@xyz.openzpace.com) and the password to be your normal openzpace password.
- Note that sending mail (SMTP) requires the use of the same username/password that you use to receive mail.
- Both Normal and secure(SSL/TLS) connections are supported for POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP using the standard port numbers for these services.
