Jenny Internet Call Centre can help you will all your e-mail troubleshooting provided your e-mail / domain account is hosted with us or you have all your e-mail settings from your e-mail service provider, eg. Telkom, MWeb, etc.
Settings needed to correctly setup your e-mail account:
-
E-mail address, eg. support@jenny.co.za.
-
Incoming mail server address (POP/3), eg. mail.jenny.co.za
-
Outgoing mail server address (SMTP), eg. smtp.jenny.co.za
-
Username, this is most times the same as your e-mail address.
-
Password, this is usually given to you at the time of your signing up for the e-mail account. If your e-mail is hosted with Jenny Internet, we can give you your password or change it for you to whatever password you would like. If your e-mail is not hosted with Jenny Internet, you will need to call your e-mail service provider to get or reset your password.
-
Outgoing Authentication Settings, you must know if your e-mail service provider requires a username and password for you to send e-mail through their servers. eg, YES / NO, SMTP Username and Password.
-
Port Number, these are number that are inserted to change the listening ports that your servers would listen on to receive or send email, eg. POP: 110, SMTP: 25 / 587 / 465
Jenny Internet mail servers are in most cases setup with the following credentials:
Username = Full email address eg. support@jenny.co.za.
Domainname = the part after the “@” in your e-mail address eg. support@jenny.co.za, domain name = jenny.co.za
Incoming Mail Server / Port # = mail.domainname / 110
Outgoing Mail Server / Port # = smtp.domainname / 587
Outgoing Mail Server requires authentication = Yes, same username and password as incoming.
In your e-mail program you will need to use all your correct e-mail credentials. Each e-mail program is different from one another but all require the same information at the end of the day.
