POP3 Proxy

A POP3 proxy is required if you want to be able to check your mail through WinGate. The proxy is configurable to connect to different ports, with 110 as the default. In the POP3 proxy properties, a delimeter can be specified. This is usually the # symbol. The delimeter is used by WinGate as shown below.

Change the setting for your POP3 server to the name of the WinGate machine (e.g. "wingate"), and change your POP3 username to the following:

POP3 username + delimiter + POP3 server.

E.g.

If my email username is

marybob

and the mail server is

mail.qbik.com

then if I was using Netscape, MS Mail, or Pegasus mail, my user name in my email program should be changed to

marybob#mail.qbik.com

and the mail servers (SMTP and POP3) to

wingate

If I were to use Eudora, the POP account would become

marybob#mail.qbik.com@wingate

So, if you are using Eudora, you simply replace the @ symbol with the delimiter you have chosen (e.g. #) and add @wingate to the end. That is all you need to do.

Note, marybob#mail.qbik.com@wingate will be used as the default return address unless you specify the correct one. ENSURE that your return address is your actual email address
