What's wrong with ceo mail?

CEO Webmail is a fairly effective way of retrieving your email from the CEO website, but you can only access your stored mail when you are on line.

Why switch to Mail?

With a POP style mail program, like Mail, you can download your mail when you're online, then read it and store it, and manage it later, without having to be connected to the web.

In addition, you can configure a number of accounts with Mail, allowing you to download and store your Gmail, Hotmail, or your ISP's mailbox, all at the same time and the same place.

You can also manage your mail by setting rules to trash your spam, place mail in category mailboxes, like "family," "work," or "jokes."

With Mail, you can retrieve your emails from the CEO server from anywhere on the Internet, anywhere in the world.

WHAT DOES "POP" MEAN?

POP is an acronym for Post Office Protocol, a method of downloading emails and storing them on your computer.

You also have the option to set up each mail account under the IMAP protocol, which downloads just the first few lines and brings the rest of the email down from the Internet when you click on the heading. But again, when you are disconnected from the Internet, you can't retrieve your mail.

 

Setting up MAIL as your email client

Setting up the Mail program to be your email client is easy. You only need to follow the steps in sequence. Most of the tricky bits, like your user name and password, you already know.

Click the "Mail" tab in the menu bar at the top of the page. It will be on the left, next to the "Apple" icon.

When it drops down, choose "Preferences," then click on it.

When the Preferences panel opens, click on the "Accounts" icon at the top of the page.

The bar on the left will list all the accounts you have already set up. If you haven't set any up so far, it will be blank.

Don't worry about all the blanks on the right. As you go through the process, they will be filled in. Then when you come back to this panel, all the information will be there for whichever account you have highlighted.

Later on, you might revisit this panel and check out the other icons. You can customise Mail quite a bit to fit in with your computing style.

Your first step on this panel is to click the + sign at the lower left.

When the next panel opens, type your name in the first field.

Next, you enter your CEO mail address and password.

Finally, you click the CONTINUE button

Every email account is composed of two parts, the incoming mail (POP), and the outgoing mail (SMTP).

Let's set up the incoming mail first. Make sure the Account Type is set to POP.

Next put in a description. It could be anything which helps you distinguish which mail account this is.

The CEO mail server is mail.lism.catholic.edu.au

Finally, enter your user name and password, then click the Continue button.

The final step is setting up the outgoing mail server. Again, you can use any useful name in the Description field.

The Outgoing mail server is the same as the incoming server. Click the "Use only this server" checkbox.

Click the "Use Authentication" box and enter your user name and password.

When you click the Continue button, the program will give you all the details of your account, and your CEO email will start downloading onto your computer. Don't be surprised if it downloads your entire backlog of mail, all marked as "unread."

Under the "Messages" tab on the menu bar, you can select to mark all the messages as "read" when it finishes downloading.

You can use this same method to set up your other mail accounts to be downloaded, using this same system. Even webmail systems, like Hotmail and Gmail, allow for POP downloads, and you can set up as many accounts as you subscribe to for regular downloads to your computer.
