Configuring your iPhone with e-mail

2013-01-10T17:48:54Z

Steve:

This page assumes you have already [[Creating a new e-mail account | created an e-mail address]] and have not yet configured your iPhone with any e-mail addresses (if you currently have other e-mail addresses associated with your phone, please first [[#note | read the note]] at the bottom of this page).

1. Tap the "Mail" icon on your phone. You will see the below screen, at which point you will want to tap "Other".

[[Image:Iphone1.jpg]]

2. Tap "Add Mail Account" at the top of the next screen under the "Mail" heading, then fill in your details and tap "Save" when ready. The e-mail address and password will need to be exactly as you entered them in your Bravenet account.

[[Image:Iphone2.jpg]]

If you think you made a mistake here but saved the details, don't worry - you can change them in the next step.

3. Because Bravenet offers POP3 e-mail addresses, make sure you tap POP at the top of the next screen. All that is required now is to fill in the incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail server information to complete configuration!

These server details are specific to your domain. The below screenshot shows how this information should be entered, where "yourdomain.com" is replaced with the registered domain associated with this e-mail address.

[[Image:Iphone3.jpg]]

The Incoming mail server username will be your full e-mail address. When this information has been entered, tap "Save" again to complete configuration! Your phone may take a moment to verify this information and make an initial connection to the mail servers. If this is a brand new e-mail address, please allow some extra time for the connection to be made.

4. You can now access your inbox by tapping the "Mail" icon. You should immediately receive an automatic welcome message from us with some details you can use if you need assistance, and to verify that your inbox is properly receiving mail.

[[Image:Iphone4.jpg]]

Completing these quick steps will allow you to take any e-mail address with a mailbox created within your Bravenet account anywhere you take your iPhone!

<div id="note">
'''Note:''' If you have an existing e-mail address configured with your phone, simply tap "Settings" then "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and finally "Add Account...". You can now start from Step 1 of this article.

Installing Software

2013-01-09T01:22:08Z

Steve: /* Creating an .htaccess file */

Our builder offers an easy way to integrate third party software into your website, such as [http://www.wordpress.com Wordpress].

To access this area, visit the [[FTP Hosting]] section of your account and create a new or manage an existing site within the [[Control Panel - FTP Hosting | FTP Hosting Control Panel]]. Click on the following link as it displays there:

[[Image:Managesoftware.PNG]]

Just click the '''Install Software''' link on the following page to get started. Any Currently Installed Software will also display here to be managed or removed.

If you're not sure what some available software does, you can perform a web search for more information or read the description we provide for each one. All you will need to do is specify an installation directory within the address you are working. We recommend a designated folder for each script.

Once installation is complete, you will need to enter the configuration area for the software. Any databases required for the software have been created, and usernames and passwords will appear as prefilled with the correct values. The installation process will then complete as per the requirements of the developers.

Using our software manager will make the process much easier and you will be up and running more quickly than before!

==Managing Installations==

You can manage your installations in this area, allowing you to access the home page of the installed software, access the admin area or the path where the software is installed, as well as delete the software.

[[Image:Installed.PNG]]

'''Warning - deleting software here will delete the database created for that software. If the database is deleted in the [[:Category:Database | Databases]] area, the script will remain in this area, although it will be non-functional.'''

==Wordpress Notes==

It's not possible to install to your root folder, so you will need to choose a folder. If you want your installation to load when visiting a root address (ie: subdomain.yourdomain.com instead of it's installed path), you will need to configure an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/htaccess .htaccess] file.

Assuming your Wordpress installation path is yourdomain.com/wordpress - this code in the .htaccess file in your root directory will work to redirect your domain address to your wordpress installation folder, while maintaining yourdomain.com as the address in your browser's address bar:

# BEGIN WordPress redirect
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wordpress/$1
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress redirect

===Creating the .htaccess file===

If you don't have an .htaccess file set up already, just follow these steps:

1. Log into your Bravenet account. 
2. Click on the 'ftp hosting' tab. 
3. Click on the website you'd like to edit (example: yourdomain.com). 
4. Click on 'file manager'. 
5. Click on 'Create File'. 
6. Paste in the code above. 
7. In file name field enter '''.htaccess''' and hit 'create' button.

Installing Software

2013-01-09T01:13:41Z

Steve:

Our builder offers an easy way to integrate third party software into your website, such as [http://www.wordpress.com Wordpress].

To access this area, visit the [[FTP Hosting]] section of your account and create a new or manage an existing site within the [[Control Panel - FTP Hosting | FTP Hosting Control Panel]]. Click on the following link as it displays there:

[[Image:Managesoftware.PNG]]

Just click the '''Install Software''' link on the following page to get started. Any Currently Installed Software will also display here to be managed or removed.

If you're not sure what some available software does, you can perform a web search for more information or read the description we provide for each one. All you will need to do is specify an installation directory within the address you are working. We recommend a designated folder for each script.

==Wordpress Notes==

It's not possible to install to your root folder, so you will need to choose a folder. If you want your installation to load when visiting a root address (ie: subdomain.yourdomain.com instead of it's installed path), you will need to configure an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/htaccess .htaccess] file.

Assuming your Wordpress installation path is yourdomain.com/wordpress - this code in the .htaccess file in your root directory will work to redirect your domain address to your wordpress installation folder, while maintaining yourdomain.com as the address in your browser's address bar:

# BEGIN WordPress redirect
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wordpress/$1
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress redirect

===Creating an .htaccess file===

If you don't have an .htaccess file set up already, just follow these steps:

1. Log into your Bravenet account. 
2. Click on the 'ftp hosting' tab. 
3. Click on the website you'd like to edit (example: yourdomain.com). 
4. Click on 'file manager'. 
5. Click on 'Create File'. 
6. Paste in the code above 
7. In file name field enter '''.htaccess''' and hit 'create' button.

Once installation is complete, you will need to enter the configuration area for the software. Any databases required for the software have been created, and usernames and passwords will appear as prefilled with the correct values. The installation process will then complete as per the requirements of the developers.

Using our software manager will make the process much easier and you will be up and running more quickly than before!

===Managing Installations===

You can manage your installations in this area, allowing you to access the home page of the installed software, access the admin area or the path where the software is installed, as well as delete the software.

How can I receive a notification when a reply is made to a Guestbook post?

2012-12-04T22:31:45Z

Steve: Created page with "1. Log into your Bravenet account 2. Click on the Web Apps tab 3. Click on "Guestbook" in your list of Web Tools 4. Click on "General Settings" This ..."

1. Log into your Bravenet account 
2. Click on the Web Apps tab 
3. Click on "Guestbook" in your list of Web Tools 
4. Click on "General Settings" 

This can be enabled in the Guestbook General Settings under the 'Replies' tab. The setting to change is called 'Replies Notification'.

'''Note:''' if you enable 'Replies Approval', under the same tab it will now show you the number of pending replies in the manager (like it does for posts). If you have both 'Replies Notification' and 'Replies Approval' turned on then you will receive an email too saying there is a pending post waiting for you to approve/delete/etc.

HTACCESS

2012-10-11T18:54:51Z

Steve: /* Enable PHP processing in non-.php files */

* This feature is only available for Professional hosting accounts.
* This feature is recommended for users of intermediate to advanced levels

==What Is It?==

.htaccess is a plain text file used to customize some web server settings for your website. It applies a set of configuration options to all files in the directory that the file is located. In addition, these options will also apply to subdirectories of that directory, unless a separate .htaccess file in those directories contains different settings.

===Cautions===

It is important to follow these guidelines when editing .htaccess files:

* The filename must be exactly .htaccess - you can not use any other filename.
** If you have problems renaming a file to .htaccess in windows, open the file in Notepad, Choose "Save as.." and select "All types (*.*)" next to file type. Now type the filename ".htaccess" and click save.

* Any rules you set with an .htaccess file will apply to all files in the directory you have placed the .htaccess file, and any of its subdirectories. The .htaccess rules in the current directory will override any .htaccess rules set in a parent directory.

* Any typos or mistakes in a .htaccess file will may result in an HTTP 500 server error being returned when you try to visit that directory, and may render your entire site offline. If this happens, you can still access your site with the File Manager on your Bravenet.com website manager, or with any FTP program to undo your changes.

* .htaccess files are very picky about what you put in them so please be careful to use exact syntax.

===Other Questions===
'''I can't see the .htaccess file in my FTP program.'''
Any file that starts with a '.' is considered a hidden file on Unix systems. Some FTP programs will not show these 'dot files' by default. Here's some instructions on how to enable hidden files for some of the more popular FTP programs:
*FileZilla
#View -> Show hidden files.

*Cute FTP
# Open the Site Manager (press F4) and click on the name of the relevant site.
# Click the Actions tab, then click Filter.
# Select the Enable Filtering check box.
# In Server side filtering, select the Enable Server Side Filtering check box.
# In the Remote Filter box, type -a.
# Click OK, then click Connect.

*WS_FTP Pro (7.62)
# Sites
# Organize sites
# Site options
# Startup tab
# In Remote Filter Mask box enter -a

Remember, you can always use the File Manager on our web site manager page to easily upload or edit your .htaccess files.

==Using htaccess To...==
====Add a password to your site====
To protect your full folder, you will need two files:
# The .htaccess file - this is placed inside the folder you want to protect
# The .htpasswd file - this should be placed in a folder on your site where only you have access to edit it

The server path you need to add to the beginning of your AuthUserFile path is located within your Bravenet account. The AuthUserFile path should point to your password file. To get the path, login to your Bravenet.com account, click on Websites, click on your URL, and then scroll down to the Storage Path. In this example, the storage path is <tt>/misc/12/345/678/901/2/user/web/securearea.mysite.org/</tt>

You would add the following to your .htaccess file:
<pre>
AuthUserFile /misc/12/345/678/901/2/user/web/securearea.mysite.org/.htpasswd
AuthName "Private Area"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
</pre>

Your .htpasswd file would look something like this:
<pre>
bravenet:B3nlQW12jcynE
admin:cGyUX9QugYMgE
</pre>
The passwords stored in the .htpasswd file are encrypted - if you want admin's password to be <tt>password</tt>, you would first have to run <tt>password</tt> through a password generator, such as you can find [http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/ here], getting <tt>cGyUX9QugYMgE</tt>. This would be be the password you would place in the .htpasswd file. Now, when visiting securearea.mysite.org, you would be prompted for a username and password. <tt>admin</tt> with the password of <tt>password</tt> would give you access to the site.

====Block another website from linking to yours====
Add the following to a .htaccess file in the directory containing the files you want to protect, and change the text "badsite.com" to be the exact name of the website you want to block:

<pre>
# go away!
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://badsite.com(.*)$ [NC] RewriteRule ^.* - [F,L]
</pre>
====Use custom error pages====
If you would like to have custom error pages, you can add the following to your .htaccess file:
<pre>
ErrorDocument 404 404.php
ErrorDocument 403 403.php
ErrorDocument 500 500.php
ErrorDocument 401 401.php
</pre>
Now if someone visits, for example, <tt>www.yoursite.com/this_page_does_not_exist</tt> they will get served 404.php as an error page instead of the default <tt>404_not_found.html</tt> page.

====Enable or disable error reporting in PHP====
Add the following lines to your .htaccess file to enable error reporting:

<pre>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
php_flag display_errors on
php_value error_reporting 7
</pre>

We have display_errors set to "on" by default for all users - this is to help inform you of problems when you are working on your site. You may want to turn that off when you are ready to show your site off to the world - use the following to disable errors:
<pre>
php_value display_errors 0
</pre>

When errors are disabled, the visitor will only see a blank page when an error is encountered, instead of several lines of PHP code and error messages.

====Enable the "Register Globals" PHP flag====
Add the following only if your PHP code specifically requires this setting. It does have some security implications, so you should only use it if you need to. In addition, this setting will no longer be an option once PHP 6.0 is released, so please consider staying clear of PHP code that requires this setting.

<pre>
php_value register_globals 1
</pre>

====Limiting access to your website based by IP address====

Add the following to a .htaccess file in the directory you want to protected:

<pre>
# allow access to just two ips
Order Allow,Deny
# my home ip, my work ip
allow from 168.55.55.11 58.66.12.79
</pre>

Be careful as you may lock yourself out of your own site. If this happens, you can always access your site with a ftp program or with our File Manager tool and remove or modify the .htaccess file. People who are blocked from your site will be shown the 403 error page (by default <tt>403_forbidden.html</tt>)

Similarly, to block people from specific ip addresses from accessing your site, you could add the following to your .htaccess file:
<pre>
# Block all access from 192.168.10.5
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from 192.168.10.5
</pre>

====Hide .php extensions to make your website address look cleaner====
If you want to hide .php extensions to make your site appear more "clean" you can add the following to a .htaccess file:

<pre>
Options +MultiViews
</pre>

Now, for example, instead of seeing <tt>http://yoursite.com/dem.php?forum=1</tt> you would see <tt>http://yoursite.com/dem?forum=1</tt>. Be careful with this though, as it can lead to unexpected results. As always, test your changes thoroughly!

====Add a MIME type to the webserver====
Adding a MIME type to the server allows visitors to your website to be prompted to open files directly into the correct application. For example, if you have some java programs on your website, and want visitors to be able to run those programs directly in Java webstart, you would add the following to your .htaccess file:

<pre>
AddType application/x-java-jnlp-file JNLP
</pre>

====Enable compression for PHP files====
Bravenet use compression on certain files to make downloading websites a lot faster. However, some files we leave uncompressed to avoid certain errors. If you would like to enable compression on everything, add the following to your .htaccess file. Make sure to test your entire site if you enable this option - some code does not like this setting.

<pre>
# enable compression for everything
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</pre>

====Enable PHP processing in non-.php files====
If you have a file with PHP code in it that's doesn't have the filename ending in <tt>.php</tt> (say, <tt>example_file.php5</tt>) you can force the web servers to treat it as PHP anyways:

<pre>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5
</pre>

You can put in any extension you want instead of .php5. Note that putting .html or .htm will force the server to process *all* HTML files as PHP, which is significantly slower than the normal way of processing these files.

====Wordpress root folder redirection====

When installing Wordpress with our [[Installing Software | Software Installer]], it's not possible to install to your root folder, so you will need to choose a folder. If you want your installation to load when visiting a root address (ie: subdomain.yourdomain.com instead of it's installed path), you will need to configure your.htaccess file as follows:

# BEGIN WordPress redirect
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wordpress/$1
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress redirect

Assuming your Wordpress installation path is yourdomain.com/wordpress - this code in the .htaccess file in your root directory will work to redirect your domain address to your wordpress installation folder, while maintaining yourdomain.com as the address in your browser's address bar.

Steve:

Our builder offers an easy way to integrate third party software into your website, such as [http://www.wordpress.com Wordpress].

To access this area, visit the [[FTP Hosting]] section of your account and create a new or manage an existing site within the [[Control Panel - FTP Hosting | FTP Hosting Control Panel]]. Click on the following link as it displays there:

[[Image:Managesoftware.PNG]]

Just click the '''Install Software''' link on the following page to get started. Any Currently Installed Software will also display here to be managed or removed.

If you're not sure what some available software does, you can perform a web search for more information or read the description we provide for each one. All you will need to do is specify an installation directory within the address you are working. We recommend a designated folder for each script.

'''''Note:''' It's not possible to install to your root folder, so you will need to choose a folder. If you want your installation to load when visiting a root address (ie: subdomain.yourdomain.com instead of it's installed path), you will need to configure an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/htaccess .htaccess] file.''

Assuming your Wordpress installation path is yourdomain.com/wordpress - this code in the .htaccess file in your root directory will work to redirect your domain address to your wordpress installation folder, while maintaining yourdomain.com as the address in your browser's address bar:

# BEGIN WordPress redirect
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wordpress/$1
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress redirect

Once this is complete, you will need to enter the configuration area for the software. Any databases required for the software have been created, and usernames and passwords will appear as prefilled with the correct values. The installation process will then complete as per the requirements of the developers.

Using our software manager will make the process much easier and you will be up and running more quickly than before!

===Managing Installations===

You can manage your installations in this area, allowing you to access the home page of the installed software, access the admin area or the path where the software is installed, as well as delete the software.

'''Warning - deleting software here will delete the database created for that software. If the database is deleted in the [[:Category:Database | Databases]] area, the script will remain in this area, although it will be non-functional.'''

Using your Bravenet e-mail account

2012-01-23T19:42:59Z

Steve:

Once you've created a [[new e-mail account]], you can check it in a variety of ways:

==Webmail==

You can access your e-mail through our webmail system at https://webmail.bravehost.com. When prompted, just enter your e-mail address and the password associated with that address. If you forget your e-mail password, you can reset it in the [[e-mail tab]] of your Bravenet account.

==Mail Clients==

You can also use most third-party e-mail clients to send and receive mail. We've provided step-by-step instructions for a few common clients. For other e-mail clients, use the general information directly below, and refer to your e-mail client's documentation for information on how to enter this data.

===General Settings===

The exact steps to set up your email client differ based on the client. In general you will need the following information. This assumes that you've created a Bravenet email address in the email tab of your account already.

====IMAP====

In each example, <tt>yourdomain.com</tt> should be replaced by the actual domain name that your e-mail address uses. For example, if your e-mail address is <tt>test@example.com</tt> then your mail server might be <tt>mail.example.com</tt>

* IMAP server: <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt>, or you can use <tt>mail.yourdomain.com</tt> where <tt>yourdomain.com</tt> is the domain of your Bravenet email address.
* IMAP port: 143
* IMAP Username: the email address you are checking
* Password: the password for this address. You can change this in the email tab of your Bravenet account.
* Authentication Type: Password

Outgoing mail uses SMTP. The information you need for that:

* SMTP server: <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt>, or you can use <tt>mail.yourdomain.com</tt> where <tt>yourdomain.com</tt> is the domain of your Bravenet email address.
* SMTP username: the e-mail address you are checking
* SMTP port: 587 (you may be able to use port 25 but this is disabled for many users)
* Password: the password for this address. You can change this in the email tab of your Bravenet account.
* Authentication: PLAIN

====POP3====

[[POP3]] is an older method of checking mail. It should only be used if your e-mail client doesn't support [[IMAP]], since POP3 doesn't support checking mail from multiple locations, and by default it doesn't store messages on the server.

In each example, <tt>yourdomain.com</tt> should be replaced by the actual domain name that your e-mail address uses. For example, if your e-mail address is <tt>test@example.com</tt> then your mail server might be <tt>mail.example.com</tt>

* POP3 server: <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt>, or you can use <tt>mail.yourdomain.com</tt> where <tt>yourdomain.com</tt> is the domain of your Bravenet email address.
* POP3 Username: the email address you are checking
* Password: the password for this address. You can change this in the email tab of your Bravenet account.

Outgoing mail uses SMTP. The information you need for that:

* SMTP server: <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt>, or you can use <tt>mail.yourdomain.com</tt> where <tt>yourdomain.com</tt> is the domain of your Bravenet email address.
* SMTP username: the e-mail address you are checking
* SMTP port: 587 (you may be able to use port 25 but this is disabled for many users)
* Password: the password for this address. You can change this in the email tab of your Bravenet account.
* Authentication: PLAIN

===Microsoft Outlook===

Note - this is for Microsoft Outlook, as it ships with Microsoft Office (it has a yellow icon). This does not include Outlook Express (blue and white icon), which is installed by default on Windows XP - see below for Outlook Express instructions.

# Start Microsoft Outlook
# Click the '''Tools menu''', then the '''E-Mail Accounts''' option
# Click '''Add a new e-mail account''' then click '''Next'''
# Choose '''IMAP''' from the options then click '''Next'''
# Fill out the following fields:
## '''Your Name''' - enter your name here
## '''E-Mail Address''' - enter the Bravenet email address you are adding here

## '''Outgoing mail server''' - enter <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt>
## '''Username''' - enter your Bravenet email address
## '''Password''' - enter the password for the Bravenet email address
# Click the '''More Settings...''' button
# Change to the '''Outgoing Server''' tab, and enable the '''My outgoing server require authentication''' checkbox
# Change to the '''Advanced''' tab, and change the '''Outgoing Server''' port number from <tt>25</tt> (the default) to <tt>587</tt>
# Click the '''OK''' button to close the advanced settings window, then click '''Next''' on the E-Mail Accounts window
# Click the '''Finish''' button on the next page and your account should now work correctly

Make sure to send a test email to another email address you have access to to verify that everything is set up correctly.

===Outlook Express===
Note - these instructions are for Outlook Express (a blue and white icon), that ships with Windows XP. If you have Outlook, with a yellow icon, that ships with Microsoft Office, see the Outlook directions above.

# Start Outlook Express
# If you don't see the '''Internet Connection Wizard''' popup:
## click the '''Tools''' menu;
## then the '''Accounts''' option;
## then the '''Add''' button. Choose '''mail''' from the options listed
# You should see the '''Internet Connection Wizard''' now. Enter your full name here then click '''Next'''.
# Enter the Bravenet email address you are adding then click '''Next'''.
# On this screen, change the following:
## Change the '''incoming mail server''' option from <tt>POP3</tt> to <tt>IMAP</tt>.
## Enter <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt> in both the '''Incoming''' and '''Outgoing''' server fields
# then click '''Next'''.
# Enter the Bravenet email address in the '''Account Name''' field, and then the password for that address in the '''Password''' field, then click '''Next'''.
# Click '''Finish''' to close the window. If you are asked to download your mail or import folders, click '''No'''. Now, If you don't see the '''Internet Accounts''' screen, open it in the '''Tools''' menu under the '''Accounts''' option
# Click on the account you just set up - it will likely be named '''mail.bravehost.com'''. Then, click on the '''Properties''' button.
## Change to the '''Servers''' tab
## Enable the '''My server requires authentication''' checkbox
## Change to the '''Advanced''' tab
## change the '''Outgoing Mail''' port number from <tt>25</tt> (the default) to <tt>587</tt>
# Click '''OK''' to save your changes and close the advanced properties window.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Internet Accounts window
# You may now be asked if you want to download the folders from the server you added. Click '''Yes''', and then '''OK''' on the next window
# Either way, click the '''Send/Recv''' button to sync up your email. Everything should now work!

Try sending a test message to verify that your email is set up correctly.

IMAP

2012-01-23T19:42:57Z

Steve:

IMAP is a protocol for retrieving e-mail from a mail server. Along with [[POP3]], it is one of the two methods of managing incoming mail

==Differences From POP3==

[[POP3]] is the most standard way of checking mail. However, IMAP has quite a few advantages over POP3:
- By default, POP3 deletes messages from the remote server, and manages all mail on the local computer
- IMAP manages all of its mail on the remote server.
- IMAP works well in a situation where you might check your mail from multiple devices.
- IMAP is more efficient - it uses message flags and transfers only the message headers when it can

We do recommend using IMAP instead of POP3 whenever possible

==Accessing your bravenet e-mail through IMAP==

E-Mail server information

Steve:

{{done}}
E-Mail programs require a variety of information to correctly send and receive e-mail. In addition, some [[PHP scripts]] require this information as well.

==Server Information==

In this example, substitute your domain for <tt>example.com</tt>, and your email address for <tt>example-account@example.com</tt>

'''Incoming mail (POP3) server''' - pop3.example.com

'''Outgoing mail (SMTP) server''' - mail.example.com

'''SMTP Server Authentication''' - Some e-mail clients will have a checkbox to enable SMTP or Outgoing Server authentication. Make sure this is enabled.

'''Username''' - Both your SMTP (outgoing) and POP3 (incoming) usernames are the same as your e-mail address, for example <tt>example-account@example.com</tt>

'''Password''' - Both your SMTP (outgoing) and POP3 (incoming) passwords are the same - they are the password you chose when setting up your e-mail account. If you forget your password, you can [[change your e-mail password]] on the [[e-mail tab]] of the [[account manager]].
