Before you begin, there is some information you will need to have handy to setup your email client.

Mail Server names:

mail.netplex.net
This is for both incoming (POP3 or IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP).

Sending Email:

If your connectivity to the internet is provided by someone other than NETPLEX, you may have to use their outgoing mail servers. (Call your ISP to find out their outgoing mail server name)

Username:

Customer's usernames will be the first part of your email address (username@netplex.net).
Do not use your whole email address for your username.
