Email settings
Below are the settings we recommend with email clients such as Outlook, Windows or Mac Mail,
Thunderbird, etc.
Each client has a different way for you to manipulate the settings.
Usually the settings are organized under one or more "email accounts" accessed through the menus that
are provided by the email client program.
| SETTING |
REMARKS |
Account type: IMAP (recommended)
or POP (POP3)
|
POP is alright for those who use only one computer to access their email.
If "leave a copy of messages on server" is selected with POP, then you
should really be using IMAP.
|
Incoming server: incoming.airbits.com
(This may also be called the POP or IMAP server.)
|
Some other settings here may work but are not guaranteed to work in the future.
|
|
User name or account name: Your email account name
|
Leave off "@airbits.com".
|
|
Password: Your email password
|
Passwords are case sensitive.
Do not select "secure password authentication".
|
Outgoing server: outgoing.airbits.com
(This may also be called your smtp server.)
|
Some other settings here may work but are not guaranteed to work in the future.
|
|
Optionally select outgoing server uses authentication
|
The outgoing server requires this setting if you are away from home.
From home, it is optional.
Do not select "secure password authentication".
|
|
Optionally select use TLS or use SSL (secure sockets layer)
for incoming and/or outgoing.
|
This option provides greater security.
It may trigger spurious complaints about the server's certificate, which you may ignore,
or you may be able to use a setting telling it not to worry about the certificate.
|
DNS settings
Below are the settings we recommend for DNS service within the Airbits network.
Users rarely have to configure this information since it is usually picked up
automatically.
| SERVER |
REMARKS |
|
DNS server (primary or preferred): 207.94.25.3
|
We make extra efforts to keep this server online.
|
|
DNS server (secondary or alternate): 67.148.181.253
|
Some clients are unable to utilize the alternate even if the
primary one is unresponsive.
|
Your IP address
Every Airbits customer has a static IP address.
To see what it is, you can take your web browser to
www.myipaddress.com
Usually your static IP address is assigned automatically
to your router by our DHCP server.
If you replace your router, then you will be assigned a temporary IP address
until we notice the change.
We scan the network regularly and will react to such a change
within a few days.
