The first screen of the internet options looks like the one to the right.

The first thing you need to do is enter your full e-mail address where prompted.

When finished, click on the 'Receiving (POP3)' tab at the top of the window to continue.

You should now see a list (or blank screen if this is a new install) of accounts currently set up to receive e-mail.

In order to configure a new e-mail account, click on 'Add'

You should now see a screen that will allow us to create and define new accounts for receiving e-mail. You can either choose one from the list or create a new one.

In this example, we will be creating setting up a new account to use the NDSUEXT e-mail system.

To do this, click on 'New'

You should now see a screen similar to this one. You will be asked to enter a number of items including definition name, server host, username, and password.

Although your definition name can be anything, we recommend you type in your full e-mail address to avoid confusion.

For server host name, enter: ndsuext.nodak.edu

For username and password, enter your e-mail username and password. If you have any questions, please contact the ACCS helpdesk at 231-9666.

Once finished, click 'OK' to continue.

As you can see, we've now created a new account definition to receive e-mail.

In order to use it, click on the account you wish to use and click on 'Select'

You will now return to the POP3 screen where you should see the e-mail account we just created in the list.

If you would like Pegasus Mail to periodically check your e-mail account for you, where it says 'Check for new POP3 mail every:', enter the number 600 in the box.

This will cause Pegasus Mail to check every 10 minutes. We request you do not set it to update any faster than that as it is an unnecessary strain on the mail server.

When finished, click on the 'Sending (SMTP)' tab.

Again, similar to the (POP3) screen, we need to set up an account in order for Pegasus to be able to send e-mail to others.

To add an account, click on 'Add'

On this screen we need to enter a name and our SMTP server.

Like last time, we should enter our full e-mail address where it asks for the definition name.

For server host name enter: ndsuext.nodak.edu

When finished, click 'OK'

You should now see your e-mail address listed as an available definition.

Click on it to highlight it and then click on 'Select' to continue

You should now see the Sending (SMTP) screen again. In the hosts list you should now see your e-mail address.

In the settings below, be sure that 'Send mail at once without placing in queue' is checked. Without this, whenever you try to send mail it will end up in a queue rather than being sent right away.

When finished, click 'OK' to finish.

Pegasus Mail should now be set up to send and receive e-mail.
