To access your Spymac mail via POP access, Internet Services must (theoretically) be activated in the Options page. IMAP is available only for Wheel subscribers.

Servers
POP: mail.spymac.com
SMTP: mail.spymac.com

Receiving

User Name
Enter your username as username@spymac.com in [b]all lower-case letters[/b].

Password
The password you use is the same as the one you use to access Spymac itself.

Sending

SMTP Authentication
You must use SMTP Authentication. Do not use Secure Password Authentication (SPA) or Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Use simple authentication. Log in using your email address as your user name and your Spymac password.

User Name
Enter your username as username@spymac.com in [b]all lower-case letters[/b].

Password
The password you use is the same as the one you use to access Spymac itself.

Note: If your username has capital letters in it (ArnieShwartz) you must enter it into the email client in lower-case letters (arnieshwartz). If you don't the server will not like it and it will cause more problems.

Webmail Error

Sometimes when you click the "Mail" tab you'll end up with a page that shows the following error:


Content-Type: text/html Software Configuration Error
The error message follows: /usr/local/atmail/users/k/i/king721@spymac.com/./new//098247216.H616437P11848.mail-in3.spymac.net to /usr/local/atmail/users/k/i/king721@spymac.com/./cur//098247216.H616437P11848.mail-in3.spymac.net : No such file or directory at /usr/local/atmail/webmail/libs//Atmail/GetMail.pm line 2202.


To get around this problem, you could click Options, expand the Spymac Mail Settings section and change your language to something else. Then submit. This fixes whatever the error is (or at least it has in the past). After it's "fixed", you can change the language back to your preferred choice.
