I really like receiving messages on webmail interface of a commercial provider (yahoo, Hotmail, etc). May I configure things to check Sociology mail from there?
• A. While it is often technically possible to “pop” check your sociology mail storage from a remote “foreign” mail service, it is a bad idea. What you are doing in effect is providing your Sociology account and password to another Internet Service Provider (ISP), which is not a good idea. You should not be put in a position where you password is known or stored by outside systems. Only you should know your password. One alternative is that we could forward your messages to that ISP. If we do this, we also prefer to send messages to your sociology server storage too, so you get it both places. Often your ISP can bounce messages and if we don’t have the sociology server active for your storage, you may not find you have reliability problems with that ISP. We do prefer that you use a system we can directly support. Using Eudora or Sociology webmail allows us to serve you better. • Q.
