Getting Started With The GreekHunter.com Web Based Email System

The online mail interface allows you to access e-mail accounts and check your e-mail messages from almost any computer with Internet access. To access your online mail interface, go to webmail.yourdomain.com.

 

Username:  @greekhunter.com Password:

 

If you are logging on to the GreekHunter e-mail interface for the first time and have not gotten your email account yet, you need to get in touch with the e-mail contact person at your chapter or organization and request an e-mail address.  They can get in touch with our e-mail administrator and get your e-mail account set up.  By default with the GreekHunter system, your email address is your First Name followed by a dot then your Last Name followed by the domain name of your sorority or fraternity.  When signing in to check your e-mail, be sure to use the entire username (john.doe@yourdomain.com) and password assigned to you by the e-mail administrator. If your hosting account is new, please allow 24-48 hours for your domain to propagate throughout the Internet before you can receive mail. You will be able to log on, send and receive your e-mail and change your e-mail options from within this system.

Any time you wish to access the mail interface, you will need to type the username and password for the account from which you wish to retrieve mail. If you have more than one e-mail account, you will have to log out of one account and log into another account to check e-mail in that account.  Some members might be an active member and hold an office at the same time whereas they could possibly have more than one email account.  After you log on, you will be able to access all the functions of the account. The e-mail administrator or your e-mail contact person can not go in and get your password for your e-mail.  Once your account has been set up, you can change your own password any time you so choose.  We highly recommend that you do so upon getting your new account.  Your e-mail messages can not be read by anyone either unless they have your password, so change your password and keep it to yourself.

Note: you must include your domain with your username as illustrated above, or you will not be able to log on to the system.

 

Managing Your Email Accounts

To make any changes to your e-mail setup, such as adding an alias, a signature, forwarding, personal information, or an autoresponder, you must log on, click "Options" in the left-hand menu, then select from the buttons at the top of the page. After setting up your options, you must click "OK" at the bottom of the form, then wait for the "Continue" page to appear in order for your options to be saved. Click "Continue" to return to the mail interface.  If you have an existing e-mail account that you want to have your new e-mail forwarded to such as a hotmail account, you can have this e-mail forwarded to that account for convenience. 

 

***Important***

Your e-mail addresses at yourdomain.com will only work as long as yourdomain.com is an active domain name. If you have just opened your account it may take a couple of days before your domain is active and e-mail at yourdomain.com starts to work. If your domain registration has lapsed, your e-mail will not work.

 

Generic Configuration Instructions

Configuring e-mail settings may be different from program to program, but all e-mail programs require the same basic information. This document lists the different items required by most e-mail programs, and their proper configuration. If you have difficulty trying to figure out how to configure your particular software, please consult the documentation that came with that program or contact the software manufacturer. There is also a link at the bottom of this page for configuring e-mail clients.

 

POP mail

Some e-mail programs can check other types of e-mail boxes as well as POP. If your program asks you which type of e-mail box you are using, select the option for POP e-mail. POP e-mail is already the default for most programs.

 

Address, Return Address, Reply-To Address

This is similar to the return address on a postal letter. Enter the e-mail address of your account here. (Example: popID@yourdomain.com)

UserID, popID, Username

Enter the username that you were assigned when you created your POP account. Some programs will ask for a POP Account instead. In this case, enter your popID@yourdomain.com. 

NOTE: Netscape users, enter popID/yourdomain.com.

 

Password

Enter the password associated with your POP e-mail box. Some programs do not ask for the password until you check your mail.

 

POP Server Name, Incoming Server Name

Enter 'pop.yourdomain.com' for the POP server name.

 

SMTP Server Name, Outgoing Server Name

Enter the SMTP server. This will be 'smtp.yourdomain.com'. If there is SMTP blocking, you may have to use your ISP's outgoing mail server.

 

Retrieving mail via the Web

Visit webmail.yourdomain.com. You will be prompted for your username and your password.

 

IMPORTANT: Wherever you see pop.registeredsite.com and smtp.registeredsite.com noted, you must type this information exactly as it is written. Do not use pop.yourdomain.com or smtp.yourdomain.com.
