Setting up POP email in various email clients

emails This is the landing page for setting up your email account in popular email clients. I've tried to put up configuration details for default email clients in some of the more popular Operating Systems. This is part of a HOW TO of common IT procedures prepared for employees of the Emmanuel Hospital Association. Others can use it by adapting the instructions for any other POP email account.

Ref : EHA/End User Self Help/Common IT Services setup

When this post was first written, a lot of users were using Windows. As of now, users have become more tech savvy and have started using other operating systems such as the Mac and Linux. This is becoming more and more difficult to support (from the documentation viewpoint) as there are various options available for email on each operating system. This multiplies every time an operating system receives an update from the maintainer (e.g Windows Vista to Windows 7).

Keeping  the above in mind, I am currently maintaining documentation for the Zimbra mail client because of the following advantages.

  • Free – (Open source)
  • Cross Platform – i.e running on Linux, Windows and the Mac
  • Support for Calendars, Alarms and Tasks
  • Support other free email services such as Yahoo & Windows Live & Gmail

The Documentation for setting up EHA email in Zimbra can be found here

For those who prefer to use their own email clients, you can either use the unmaintained links at the end of the post, or use the following settings on any email client.

Username : Your full email address – e.g fido@eha-health.org

password : The email password that you received (This is case sensitive)

Pop3 server :  mail.eha-health.org

SMTP server : mail.eha-health.org

You need to enable SMTP authentication for sending email.

The Links given below are no longer be maintained. You may use them as they are (They do work)

Windows:

Outlook Express 6 On Windows XP

Windows Mail 7 – Email on Windows Vista

Microsoft Outlook  2003 & 2007

Linux (Ubuntu):
