Excuse me if this is an ignorant question and it's been put out already, but how would a Munuvian go about setting up Outlook or Thunderbird for munu-e-mail access (i.e. incoming mail server, user name, yada yada)?
Webmail just reminds me so much of the days when I thought Hotmail address were cool.

I'm assuming you've already got an active email address set up for Blown Fuse and have been accessing by webmail?
If so, you go to the account set-up page of your email program and enter the following values:
User name: your full email address (eg Tiffany@blownfuse.mu.nu)
Password: The same password you use for webmail access.
Incoming POP3 server: mail.blownfuse.mu.nu
Outgoing SMTP server: mail.blownfuse.mu.nu
Additional settings: Somewhere in your setup, you'll need to tell your program that it's a POP3 system it's going to use.
ALSO!! You'll have to tell the account setup that the Outgoing Mail Server Requires Authentication.
In Outlook Express, you have to go back in to the Accounts page after finishing the account setup wizard, click on the new mail account you created, then click Properties. In the next window, go to the Servers tab and put a checkmark in the bottom box that says 'My server requires authentication' (NOT the one for Secure Authentication)
In ThunderBird, go through the setup wizard, then go back to the Account Settings page, click on Outgoing Server in the left pane, and make sure there's a checkmark in the box that says 'Use name and password'.
Hopefully this isn't too garbled. if anything's not clear, post back with which email program you're setting up, and I'll do a step by step.
Cheers!

Thanks, Paul!
