Tapcis.com email accounts
Here are some tips on setting up the tapcis.com email account you get as a thank-you for making a donation to the support of The Tapcisforum:
For Thunderbird: I have the settings as follows: name: [me] email address: [me]@tapcis.com incoming POP3: mail.tapcis.com port: 110 user name: [me] smtp server: smtpout.secureserver.net port: 25 user name : [me]@tapcis.com use name & password TLS, if available Then I hit send, the box pops up asking me for the password for [me]@tapcis.com, I type in my personal password (this is my account, not the main tapcis.com account) and voila. Also: Outlook set up directions Eudora set up directions and for those who find port 25 is blocked by their ISP, Frank Haber suggests trying port 26.

Here in this forum, the space is simply a space. In email, I suspect it would have to be underscored.

The reason why you're getting that message is, ahem, you haven't yet responded to the email message asking you to choose which name@tapcis.com you'd like to have. So no email account has been set up for you yet. As soon as you choose an account name and let us know by return email, we'll set it up toot sweet or even earlier.

Let me know if you need anything more to get it set up.

I've just sent a msg to name@tapcis.com and it bounced <name@tapcis.com>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. Obviously I'm still a simpleton at this game. Maybe I have to log off and see an e-mail before I am reistered properlike. Now I'm wondering whether I'll be able to find my way back onto the board again Mayb

You should be registered just fine, Bob, but being registered here isn't what gets you a tapcis.com email address of your very own. To get that little perk, you have to make a donation, of whatever size, to keeping this forum and website up and running. Details here.

I think Mike King checked both of those and those didn't work. It's SBC that's blocking port 25, not GoDaddy.

I tried both of those. T-bird connects, but keeps asking for my password. Even after providing my password.
How do you keep an imbecile busy? |

Mike, I know you used Bill's workaround -- but did you try changing your password at the email.tapcis.com location (the webmail site)?

Yup, Judy, that's how I changed my password so that it's no longer the default.

Judy, I went to the web mail site and changed my password. Then I tried to set up my mail in Mozilla. The setup seemed to work. But I can't get my mail. When I type in the new password I created, I get an error message saying that mail.tapcis.com was accessed but the password was rejected. I tried several times even allowing quite a bit of time to elapse.

Er, I may need one of those "check your private messages" messages. All of a sudden Pegasus and Mailwasher can't access my mail account. Everything seems to be in order --Pegasus's detail line seems to be saying the username is OK but the password isn't, but who knows.
