Email Settings

1. by using FishMAIL at http://www.fishtelecom.com.au/fishmail
   FishMAIL is our web-based email program. You use it to send and recieve email directly from our mail server. This is the recommended method of using email as we have full control over this application and we ensure that it is always working.
2. by using an email client on your computer.
   You can use a third-party email program such as Thunderbird or Outlook Express to access email. However, as these are applications that run on your own computer, Fish Telecom cannot provide support for these programs. To set these programs up to retrieve your email, you can use the settings below. Alternatively, if you have a Fish Telecom dial-up account, you can simply use the Fish Telecom Configuration program to set up your email automatically.

   Email address:	joebloggs@fishinternet.com.au (example only)
   POP3/IMAP (incoming) server:	mail.fishinternet.com.au
   SMTP (outgoing) server:	smtp.fishinternet.com.au (using port 587 with SMTP authentication)
   Account name/Username:	joebloggs@fishinternet.com.au (example only - use your email address)
   Password:	(your password)
