How To Set Up E-Mail Accounts For Minnesota Internship Center

OVERVIEW: There are two ways to set up an e-mail account with MNIC. You can use Webmail or you can set up a Pop 3 e-mail account through MS Outlook, MS Outlook Express, Macmail, Eudora, Netscape or other Pop 3 e-mail programs.

E-mail addresses for our organization are all authorized and set up by Kevin Byrne. They are all in this format: [email protected] If you want an e-mail address with us, send an e-mail to Kevin at [email protected] Tell him what name you’d like (this can be your first name, last name or initial with last name, like Kevin’s). Let Kevin know what password you would like. You can change it yourself later using webmail. He will send the information back to you so you can set up your new account. Finally, send an e-mail to Kevin from your new account so we know you are set up. We will not send anything to your new e-mail address until you do this.

Method One: Using Webmail This is the easiest way to get your e-mail. You can get it through the web from anywhere with an Internet connection:

1. Using a web browser go the the URL below

http://www.mnic.org:2095

2. You will be prompted to enter the username and password to your e-mail account. The username is your complete e-mail address. For example: [email protected]

3. Then simply enter your password and you will have access to your web based email account. The first time you will be instructed to choose Neomail or another e-mail program called Horde. We recommend clicking on Neomail. It will ask a few questions the first time only about how you would like to setup things. This is very quick, then you can enter the e-mail.

Method Two: Using a Pop 3 e-mail account The other way to use our e-mail is to setup a pop server account on your computer using MS Outlook or Outlook Express.
