Internet Mail 3.x Email Setup

Open up Internet Mail 3.x from your programs menu, click on Mail from the menu bar and select Options. Click on the Server tab.

Enter in your name, leave organisation blank, and enter in your email address. Your email address is your-username@fl.net.au. For example, if your name was Bill Smith, and when you signed up with First Link, you chose the username bill, your email address would become bill@fl.net.au.

In the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server box type in smtp.syd.fl.net.au if you are a Sydney subscriber, and if you're a Newcastle subscriber type in smtp.ncastle.fl.net.au.

In the Incoming Mail (POP3) server box type in pop.syd.fl.net.au if you are a Sydney subscriber, and if you're a Newcastle subscriber type in pop.ncastle.fl.net.au.

You will now need to enter in your POP3 Account your username. In the example above the username was bill, so enter in the one you requested upon subscribing to First Link.

Enter in the password box the password you requested upon subscribing to First Link. This is the same password you use for when you dial up and connect with First Link.

Click OK and your email client has now been configured to send and recieve email.
