How to access your email


Every Colynx account comes with an email account @colynx.com.
example: If your Colynx username were "john" then your colynx.com email address would be "john@colynx.com".

This email account can be checked using any of the following methods:

Pine (Gold members only)
Webmail
IMAP
POP3

Members hosting one or more domains at Colynx can also create custom email accounts at their domain. These accounts can either forward mail to a different email address or be accessed directly using one of the methods above. To access the account directly use the account's full email address as your username.
example: You are hosting the domain example.com at Colynx. You have defined user1@example.com which is configured to store its mail on the mail server. To check mail sent to user1@example.com you will use user1@example.com as your username and the password you defined for this specific address as your password.

How to access your email using Pine
Login to the server by pointing your SSH client to strife.colynx.com. Once logged in, type: pine. You will be prompted for your username. Just hit Enter to accept the default which is your username. When prompted for your password enter your account password. You can now browse your mail folders.

How to access your email using Webmail
Open a web browser and browse to http://webmail.colynx.com. Login using your account username and password. You can now browse your mail folders.

How to access your email using IMAP or POP3
Configure your mail client to use mail.colynx.com for your incoming mail server. Configure it to authenticate using your account username and password. For your outgoing SMTP mail server you may use your Internet provider's outgoing mail server or (if your provider does not block SMTP) you can use mail.colynx.com. If you use mail.colynx.com then enable authentication for your outgoing mail. The username/password for outgoing mail is the same as incoming mail.
