Help With the My Mia Mail
Last update: Wednesday, January 12, 2000

The My Mia Mail is powered by DMailWeb, published by NetWin Limited of New Zealand. The system is fast and easy to use. While the Email Viewer can be used as your primary email interface, we strongly suggest that you continue to use a dedicated email client such as Outlook Express, Eudora or Claris Emailer, as these programs are far more powerful in terms of dealing with email effectively. The Email Viewer is intended primarily to allow easy checking of your mail when you do not have access to an email program or just want to see what's in your mailbox without performaing sophisticated mail handling tasks.

When using the My Mia Mail, simply enter your POPmail username and password. You do not need to use the "@" sign anywhere, nor do you need to reference "mail.mia.net"!

When using My Mia Mail for the first time, you will be prompted to enter a few default values that the system will remember. These include:

 
• Your real name: So the system can place your real name on outgoing messages you send to others
• Default return address: This is the address shown to others when you send them mail. Your Mia.Net address is used by default.
• Max message size to download: This specifies the size of the largest message you want My Mia Mail to download to your browser. We suggest keeping this set at 1000Kb (1MB) or less to avoid getting mired in large file attachments.
• Max number of messages to download: If you recieve a large amount of email, you might want to set My Mia Mail to download a maximum of only 25-30 messages.
• Auto refresh newmail screen: Here you can specify the number of seconds the system will wait until checking for new mail again automatically. Setting this parameter will allow you to open the email viewer and leave it open on your desktop. The new mail page will automatically refresh at whatever interval you choose.
• Signature file: You can type a signature in this text box that will be appended to all messages you compose and send from within the My Mia Mail system.
