• Outlook Express 98
• Netscape
• Eudora Pro
• Web-based email (such as MCSg mail)
• Other HTML readers

• Lotus Notes
• cc:mail
• AOL
• Other plain text readers

• Incoming mail (POP3) Server: mail.mail.com.sg
• Outgoing mail (SMTP) Server: mail.mail.com.sg
• E-mail address: your MCSg email address (i.e., "ahock@mail.com.sg")
• Account Name/Login Name: your MCSg email address again
• Password: your MCSg password

• Eudora
• Microsoft Outlook Express (IE 5), Outlook 98, or Outlook 2000

Why am I having difficulty sending MCSg mail messages from my email client?
For security reasons, we require that you log in to our POP servers before you may send mail from an email client. To do this, your email client will need to download new messages within one hour before attempting to send messages. This allows us to authenticate your identity.

If your email client sends mail first when you click "Send/Receive," you may need to click "Send/Receive" twice. If you can't send mail after several tries, move messages out of the Outbox, attempt to receive with an empty Outbox, and then try to send your message again.

If you try both of the above steps and continue to have problems, please make sure that you have entered your MCSg email Address as the "From" address in your email client. You will not be able to send mail if you have entered another address.
