I didn't get a confirmation email from you.  What's going on?
You should have gotten a confirmation email within 24-48 hours of your order. If you have not gotten this email, it's likely that something is wrong. Either your email service is blocking our attempts to email you with a spam blocker, or the email that you provided with your order is wrong or has a typo.  In some cases, the email that you have provided cannot receive email for one reason or another. Please first check to make sure you can receive email, then check your spam blocker setting, then email us so that we can get in communication with you.

How do I setup my POP3 client software (e.g. Outlook)?
Incoming Mail Server (POP3): mail.zbone.net
Incoming Server Port: 110
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): mail.zbone.net
Outgoing Server Port: 25
Username:  username+zbone.net     (substitute "username" with your username)
Password: your password

You must also set your software for the outgoing server to require authentication.  Please note that some ISPs do not allow users to specify their own SMTP servers.  If this is the case, please contact your ISP for their outgoing mail server names and the proper way to setup your POP3 client software.

Where and how do I login to my webmail account?
You can login from http://zmail.zbone.net/
Note that you must enter your entire email address to login to your account (e.g. username@zbone.net).  Also, notice that the domain name is zbone.net and not zbone.com. When you have entered the required information, you will be presented with the options shown below.

From here, you can select the webmail application that you would like to use. If you are using the latest version of a modern browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari), we recommend you select "roundcube" as your application. Click on "Enable AutoLoad" if you would like that application to load automatically.

Why doesn't my password work?
The password is case sensitive so you must type in the password exactly. For example, if your password is "AbCd", typing "abcd" or "ABCD" will not work.

Also, make sure to type the correct characters. Common errors that are made are confusing the number zero (0) for the letter "O", and the number one (1) for the capital letter "I" or lower case "L" (l).

How do I get my email address and password?
When you joined Z-NET, you should have received an email welcoming you to the program, along with instructions on sending your username and password.  If you did not get this email, there's probably something wrong with the email address that you provided with your order.  Please check your email settings and email us with your full name and requested Z-MAIL username.
