I can't actually see the signup link myself anywhere and I was wondering where it is, as the service is meant to be open but I can't see it

I'm not yet entirely happy that the site is robust enough for opening to the public. It's not far away but I feel it would benefit from a little more testing. I have therefore moved the opening date back to 20th October.

where do I get the information on IMAP/POP3 settings? I need to download ALL my emails so I can start deleting some.

POP3: pop3.pumapost.com
IMAP: imap.pumapost.com

Remember to use your full email address as username

The mail server program seem very clever. I use
mail.pumapost.com for pop and notise no problem.

Should I switch to pop3.pumapost.com also then?

Yes, please use pop3.pumapost.com for pop3. mail.pumapost.com does currently work but will cease to do so soon.

edit: extra p removed

one p too many there ok I follow orders here. Like a nice kid.

Have changed now and recieved and sent and it worked like expected. Thanks for taking time explaining.

I'm using IMAP so I can delete emails faster and sort them easier. Then I'll do POP3, but until I can delete the emails I need to delete (its complicated) I'll be using IMAP. Will the settings for IMAP be pop3.puma?

David · 20 Oct 2005, 07:42 AM

The server setting for IMAP is:

imap.pumapost.com

See Javier's post above.

jedilizagain · 20 Oct 2005, 10:07 AM

I saw that, but someone said the settings wouldn't be mail.pumapost.com anymore?

Yes. Graeme said he would be phasing mail.pumapost.com out (eventually)

My isp is blocking the default smtp port. is there a alternative we can use?

David · 20 Oct 2005, 10:52 AM

I have been having smtp problems. I posted in the pumapost forums about it (in the miscellaneous forum)

Yes, 825

When I went to promptpost, it of course sent me to pumapost. After trying to login, it kept telling me I didn't have an account. So, I figured that's the way I'd let it be. I'll consider myself as having no account, and leave it that way.

If you were a PromptPost user who was used to logging in with just the "local-part" of your email address you''ll find that you now have to use your full email address as your login username on PumaPost.
