Get email into your Email Center Pro account (Account Owner/Administrator only)

There are two options for getting your existing email address and routing mail into Email Center Pro: Forwarding or POP Mail.

Forwarding

You can forward all email from your existing email addresses to Email Center Pro.

Forwarding is usually set up on your mail server, which you will have access to through your Internet Service Provider or the service provider that manages your email (example: Gmail or Yahoo!). If you manage your own mail server (such as Microsoft Exchange), you will need to log in to the mail server and forward your email through the mail server's interface.

POP Mail

With this option, Email Center Pro retrieves your email for you. The email accounts you’d like to retrieve email from must support POP access. While the majority of email accounts support POP access, some free email services and some Microsoft Exchange installations don't offer POP server access to their users at this time. Contact your other Web mail provider to determine if POP access is available with your current email account. Learn how to set up POP

POP vs. Forwarding

Both approaches have their advantages. Forwarding is the faster way to get email into your Email Center Pro account, which may be important to your customers.

POP Mail PROCEDURES

1. Locate the login links along the top of your screen (Logged in as...)
2. Click the Account & Tools link
3. Click the Mailboxes tab
4. Click to select a mailbox from the list on the left
5. On the right side of the dialog, find the POP Accounts header (at the bottom)
6. Click the Add POP Account button to open the POP server dialog
7. Fill in the POP server account information
Click for details

Active:	Check this box when you are ready for Email Center Pro to begin checking your external email address for new mail.
POP Account:	Create a name for the server connection (ex., Sales Emails)
POP Server:	Type the name of the email server that the external email address currently routes to. (For information, contact your system administrator)
POP Username:	Type the user name or email address to be routed into your Email Center Pro mailbox. NOTE: This should be the username you normally use to log in to your external email account.
Password:	Type the password associated with this email address.
Port:	Type the port number to connect to this server. (For information, contact your system administrator)
Use SSL:	Check this box if the server hosting your external email requires a secure connection. NOTE: This option is not available in Free accounts.
Copy Mail:	Check this box if you wish to leave a copy of the email messages on the external server; by default, with the box unchecked, all email messages are removed from the server when they move in to your Email Center Pro account.

8. Click Save and Close to save the your new Mailbox settings

After you set up POP Mail Checking, Email Center Pro checks for new messages every five minutes and new mail will appear automatically in your Email Center Pro designated mailbox.

Please note:

• You can route as many POP mail accounts to an Email Center Pro mailbox as you would like.
• Once you start sending emails into your new Email Center Pro account you will need to make sure to disable any other email programs that were receiving mail before you started using Email Center Pro. This is to ensure that all email routes to Email Center Pro only.
• If you want to stop routing emails to your Email Center Pro mailbox, you can click the Remove link to delete the POP server connection for the mailbox.
