Vantech Media Help Sheet
Setting up Opera (M2) for your new email alias
We suggest that you print this sheet.
How it works
You use your existing email account with your current ISP just as you did before but your incoming mail goes to our powerful mail server where it is instantly diverted to your existing account.
Advantages
You have a professional, easy to remember email address. You can change your ISP at any time and as often as you like without having to distribute your new address. You must of course tell us your new address.
What you must do
Change some simple settings in Opera. If you use other email software please consult its help section.
How to do it
- Start Opera
- Click on the 'Mail' menu
- Click 'Manage Accounts'
- Select the account you wish to use with your alias
- Click the 'Edit...' button
- Check that the 'General' tab is selected
- In the 'Reply to' box carefully type your new alias address e.g. me@mydomain.co.uk
- Click 'OK'
- Click 'Close'
You must test your new settings!
The easiest way is to send an email to yourself (using the new alias) then, when you receive that message, reply to it (using the 'reply to sender' command).
You can always send us a message just to be sure - nigel@vantech.co.uk.
