Checking Email Using a Different Email Client
If you want to check your email using an email client that is not Microsoft
Outlook or Outlook Express.
• Start your email client
• Go into the email client's 'preferences' or 'account setup'
• Create a new account
• Type in your name, and email address you set up (see above section)
• When prompted, type in the following settings
o Incoming Mail Server Settings (pop3): mail.yourdomain.co.nz
o Outgoing Mail Server Settings (SMTP) if you are with Xtra: smtp.xtra.co.nz
o Outgoing Mail Server Settings (SMTP): mail.yourdomain.co.nz
Special note for Xtra
Customers – In October 2006, Telecom Xtra decided to block outgoing mail from
external mailservers in an effort to stop spam (called ‘port 25 filtering’).
What this means, is you’ll have to use ‘smtp.xtra.co.nz’ for your outgoing mail
settings. The alternative is to contact them and opt out of this arrangement.
