PWOC WebMail

Important for ALL users!

!! Due to budget considerations, the storage limit for each mailbox is very limited. For this reason, we strongly encourage the use of a Mail Client. Instructions for setting up a variety of Mail Clients are available below.

What should I know about my mailbox?

Your pwoc.org mailbox has specific limitations as follows:

• 35Mb storage limit (your ability to send or receive attachments may be affected by how much storage space you have available)
• 20Mb limit on mail attachments (your mailbox must have enough available storage space to handle attachments)
• 100 addresses in outgoing email in any configuration (To, CC, BCC)
• 250 maximum outgoing message recipients (not messages) per 24-hour period when using a Mail Client like Outlook; This limit does not apply when using the online webmail interface.
  What if we have 250+ addresses in our weekly distribution list?
• 10,000 contacts in Address Book (may import up to 2000 contacts at one time)

How do I configure my Mail Client (Outlook) to access my PWOC email?

PWOC.org mailboxes have a storage limit of 35Mb. For this reason, the PWOC Web Manager strongly encourages all users to take advantage of the many benefits of using a Mail Client to manage your webmail. By setting your Mail Client to remove messages from the server, you'll retain your mailbox's entire storage allotment to handle incoming and outgoing mail and attachments. To learn more about the benefits of using a Mail Client, check out the PWOC blog here.

The following settings will be necessary to configure your Mail Client:

• Incoming mail server (POP3 server): pop.secureserver.net, Port: 110
• Outgoing mail server (SMTP server): smtpout.secureserver.net, Port: 80
• Username: the full e-mail address, YourName@pwoc.org
• Password: Provided by the WebManager (using lowercase letters)

What if we have 250+ addresses in our weekly distribution list?

When using a Mail Client like Outlook, users are limited to 250 maximum outgoing message recipients (not messages) per 24-hour period; however, this limit does not apply when using the online webmail interface.

Therefore, if you have more than 250 addresses in your weekly distribution list, we recommend using the online webmail interface to handle your outgoing group email messages, while still using your Mail Client (Outlook) for all other traffic. Simply maintain your address book (keeping regular backups) in the online interface and send group emails from there. NOTE: There is still a 100 recipient limit per message so you'll have to break up your list into three or more outgoing messages but they can be sent without the 24-hour delay.

TIP: Insert your local (@pwoc.org) email address in the TO: field and your distribution email addresses in the BCC: field to protect the identity of your recipients. This method also keeps your message tidy in appearance.
