Technical Support - Mozilla Email Setup

By default access to RYA Online's e-mail accounts is via the webmail service through your web browser. You can however access your RYA Online e-mail account via a POP3 mail client.

Please Note that if you use a POP3 mail client to access your RYA Online e-mail account, you will only be able to send e-mail when you dial in to RYA Online's system direct. Due to the need for anti-spam rules (to stop unsolicited e-mail being relayed off our server) the RYA Online mail server will only accept e-mail for sending that comes from a valid IP address on the RYA Online system.

We do not supply and so therefore can not support Mozilla software, however we have compiled the following instructions to help you configure Mozilla to access your RYA Online e-mail account.

How to configure Mozilla to check your RYA-Online e-mail

Start Mozilla and select the mail component (Window menu, then Mail & Newsgroups option).

From the Edit menu, select Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings.
