eMail Client Settings

Mail should be downloaded from TxWorld on a regular basis. eMail clients such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, etc., all have similar settings. We do not cover how to configure each email client on your PC.  The values you should for both inbound and outbound email are as follows:

Inbound eMail

You must regularly download email from our servers. To download you must configure your email client to use POP3, supplying the server information and correct login format as stated above.

Outbound eMail

TxWorld recommends using your ISP email for sending outbound messages. Using TxWorld SMTP service for outbound emails requires authorization as a security measure against Spam.  We use SMTP AUTH also known as Pop-before-SMTP. This means that each time you send email you must check your inbox using your login credentials.

 

SMTP Authorization (AUTH)

The use of SMTP AUTH helps us to track down spammers that affect the delivery of your mail. To use our mail server for outbound traffic you MUST specify SMTP authorization in your email software.

The following examples illustrate how to enable authorization on popular email clients.

Outlook Express

2) Highlight your account
3) Click on the "Servers" tab
