Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I recieve by email using Outlook or other Pop3 clients?
The settings to recieve pop3 email from hutchnet.com is as follows. All login names are lowercase, passwords are case sensitive:
pop3 server: mail.hutchnet.com
smtp server: mail.hutchnet.com (for NMGI dialup only)
login name: username%domain.com (i.e. james%hutchnet.com)
password: set by client
If your account currently has no password set, you can force a password to be set by typing in the password you want
in your mail client and then POP'ing your mail. This will set the password, and any password changes
after that can be done through the Account Manager.
If you have problems setting up pop3 mail please email postmaster@hutchnet.com

I can retrieve my mail via Pop3 but when I try and log into WebMAIL I get "incorrect password". Whats wrong?
|
When the new mail system was put into place, all accounts were created with blank passwords. Therefore, the first
time you POP3 into retrieve your mail, the password you have set to download your mail becomes set as your permanent password.
If your Pop3 mail was set up for you, you may not know what that password was originally set for. In this case
please email postmaster@hutchnet.com and request your password. Once
you recieve your password, you can log into the Acccount Manager and set
a new password

How can I use other web based email readers like mail2web.com?
When using 3rd party web based mail readers, you must supply them with your logon name
in the same fashion you enter it into your pop3 client (i.e. sam%hutchnet.com).
One example is http://www.mail2web.com. For the login, you
must use "username%domain.com@domain.com" and then your password is your mail password. If anyone
find a web-based mail reader that does not work with hutchnet.com, email
postmaster@hutchnet.com.

Is my password and email secure?
Hutchnet.com webmail is ran on a 128-bit SSL connection so any data transmitted
from you to the server is encrypted and cannot be read by 3rd parties. Hutchnet.com being a
non-profit service, cannot be held liable for any faults in security. Use
your hutchnet mail at your own risk.
As for your password, it is only as secure as you make it. Recommended passwords consist
of 6-8 characters, including (1) uppercase letter, (1) lowercase letter, (1) number, and
(1) special character (i.e. !@#$%^&*()_). Your password is stored in encrypted form
on the server, so when your log in, your clear text password is run through crypt() and
then matched to the encrypted password on the system. If they match, you are allowed in.
The only way to break this method is brute forcing the password which would take billions of
attempts if your password follows the guidelines above.
