You can retrieve your Kindacool Email messages with a client or device that supports POP, like Microsoft Outlook Express.

How do I configure POP Access?

Configuring POP access for your email account is very similar to configuring POP access in Gmail. Here's what you need to know:

  • Any time you're asked for your username during the configuration process, you'll need to enter your full email address (username@kindacool.com) and not (username@gmail.com).
  • The incoming server is still pop.gmail.com, and outgoing server is smtp.gmail.com.

There are two things that need to be done to set up POP:

  • You need to enable POP in your Kindacool Email account.
  • You need to configure your client (ie. Outlook Express).

Step 1: To enable POP in your Kindacool Email account:

  1. Log in to your Kindacool Email account.
  2. Click Settings at the top of any Kindacool Email page.
  3. Click Forwarding and POP in the orange Mail Settings box.



  4. Select Enable POP for all mail or Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
  5. Choose the action you'd like your Kindacool Email messages to take after they are accessed with POP.
  6. Click Save Changes.

  * To ensure that Kindacool Email can communicate with your mail client, be sure to click 'Save Changes'.



Step 2: To configure your client:

  1. Make sure you have enabled POP in your Kindacool Email account (see above).
  2. Open Outlook or Outlook Express.
  3. Click the 'Tools' menu, and select 'Accounts...'


  4. Click 'Add,' and then click 'Mail...'


  5. Enter your name in the 'Display name:' field, and click 'Next.'


  6. Enter your full Kindacool Email address (username@kindacool.com) in the 'Email address:' field, and click 'Next.'
  7. Enter 'pop.gmail.com' in the 'Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server:' field. Enter 'smtp.gmail.com' in the 'Outgoing mail (SMTP) server:' field.
  8. Click 'Next.'
  9. Enter your Kindacool Email username (including '@kindacool.com') in the 'Account name:' field. Enter your Kindacool Email password in the 'Password:' field, check 'Remember password,' and click 'Next.'

      * Your entry into the 'Account name:' field should be (username@kindacool.com) and not (username@gmail.com).

  10. Click 'Finish.'
  11. Highlight 'pop.gmail.com' under 'Account,' and click 'Properties.'
  12. Click the 'Advanced' tab.
  13. Check the box next to 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)' under 'Outgoing Mail (SMTP).'
  14. Enter '465' in the 'Outgoing mail (SMTP):' field.
  15. Check the box next to 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)' under 'Incoming mail (POP3).' The port will change to 995.
    *The order of 'Outgoing' and 'Incoming' mail server fields varies by version. Make sure you enter the correct information in each field.


  16. Click the 'Servers' tab, and check the box next to 'My server requires authentication.'


  17. Click 'OK.'

Congratulations! You're done configuring your client to send and retrieve Kindacool Email messages.
