CountryNet now provides free email service to subscribers
(up to 5 accounts). 

Here are the things that have to be done to start service:

Step 1: You let us know [mailto] what email address you wish to use. It will be in the form of: xxxxx@countrynet.net

Where the xxxxx field is your email address, is variable length, must be lower case and cannot include blanks (spaces).
Example: johndoe@countrynet.net

Step 3: You open your web browser and access our server. You can do that by going to the following Internet address:
http://66.76.239.8/cgi-bin/qmailadmin

The link that leads to web mail is presently a two-step process. The first
step leads to our "squirrel mail" entry point, and then entering the user
name and password leads to the actual mail. This should be a single step - going through the squirrel mail logon. Thus the subscriber would enter his email address and password directly in fields of our web site. If you are uncertain about how this is done we will provide some amplification by phone. Talk to Vince Godinich or Ned Rice.

Your Email Name" must be exactly as you have specified your email address.

To personalize your email account proceed to Step 4

Step 4: Upon completion of Step 3 your will be presented with a screen that looks like this:

Mail Administration

Click on "Modify User"

And this will take you to another screen that says:

The password is case sensitive, and can consist of letters and numbers, and should be between 4 and 10 characters in length. (There are other functions that can be performed with this screen that go beyond setting up your account. These will be described later.)

Click "Modify User" and your account is established.

Using Your Account:

The exact steps you will take to use the email service will depend upon the mail client you have chosen (Outlook , Outlook Express, Mozilla, etd) and your operating system. Here are the key elements:

This is a POP3 mail service.

"name" is your real name (e,g, John Doe)

Incoming mail server is: mail.countrynet.net

Outgoing mail server is: mail.countrynet.net

User Name is :   youremailname@countrynet.net

Password is: your private password that you have already established (exactly as you have established it).

You have to check the box that says "My outgoing server (smtp) requires auth"

This last step is a security provision, and must be done in order to use the service.

TIPS: Here are two tips that will help you in setting up your mail client
to work effectively with our mail server:

First Tip: Our server is a "multi-domain" server. That is, it will host
many different email domains. In order for the server to correctly handle
your countrynet.net mail you have to include the domain with your user name: For example johndoe@countrynet.net would not show his user name as johndoe but as johndoe@countrynet.net.

Second Tip: Our server requires authentication on sent mail, but not on
long-in nor on received mail. Therefore, on your client setup (Outlook,
Outlook express, etc.) you will need to check the box that says something like "send mail requires auth".  Be assured that the process of authentication is entirely automatic - you will not have to worry with it
after having checked the "box".
