NewsGuy accounts include up to 5 free
email boxes, and in consideration of our members' privacy and
security we support SSL for POP, IMAP and SMTP. This feature allows
members to send and receive email via a secure connection. To take
advantage of this feature, simply enable the secure connection
preference within any SSL compliant email client. Once you've
enabled this preference, your email client will automatically
change your POP Port to 995, your IMAP Port to 993, while your SMTP Port will remain the
same.
Before using Email+SSL, you should
download and install Newsguy's secure certificate. To do this,
simply go to https://acc.newsguy.com/newsguy.crt,
click "Open", select "Install" and follow the
"Next" prompt to install the certificate. This only
needs to be done once. If you're receiving a certificate message
from your mail client while using SSL, please follow the previous
instructions to download and install the certificate.
As an example, if
you're using Outlook Express for mail, go to the "Tools >
Accounts" menu and select the name associated within your NewsGuy
mailbox. Click the "Properties" button, select the "Advanced" file
tab and checkmark the two option boxes titled "This server
requires a secure connection (SSL)". The new port number will
automatically update within the POP Port setting field, and you
can click the "Apply" button to finalize your settings changes. If
you should have any questions about this feature please email our
support staff for
assistance.
