E-mail account creation, configuration, and settings differ depending on your type of account with Aplus.Net.

Important: The instructions in this document apply to the following types of service plans:

• Dial-up accounts created before February 19^th, 2004

You will first need to create the email box in your Aplus.Net account. Here’s how:

1. Start by logging into your account control panel at http://www.aplus.net/login.html using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
2. Click on the View / Edit Plan Details link.
3. Under the E-mail account heading, click the Add button.
4. Enter your desired e-mail address and password.

To access your emails, you can either use Aplus.Net’s Web-based e-mail client or a local e-mail client, such as Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla, Netscape, or Eudora.

Web-based email client:

1. Go to http://mail1.abac.com.
2. Enter your entire e-mail address in the Login Name field. Type your password in the respective field, and click Enter.

Local e-mail client – generic settings:

1. Account type: POP3.
2. Account name (Username): your entire email address, including @yourdomain.com.
3. Password: the password that you set when you created your e-mail box in your Aplus.Net web control panel.
