Technical Support - Pegasus 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 Pegasus software, however we have compiled the following instructions to help you configure Pegasus to access your RYA Online e-mail account.

Setting Up Pegasus Mail

The first time you launch Pegasus mail, you will be presented with the Welcome to Pegasus mail dialog:

Since the second option is the most flexible, this is the best one to select, regardless of the number of users or mailboxes that you will be using with Pegasus.

You will be prompted to supply a folder to store your mailbox in - just click OK to accept the default.
