Configuring Your FreeGeek Email
There are three different interfaces that can be used to access your freegeek email: POP3, IMAP, and Squirrelmail. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages.
Squirrelmail
Squirrelmail is probably the easiest way to access your email, since it involves only a web browser and can be used from any location.
Go to http://web.freegeek.org/squirrelmail and enter your username (whoyouis@freegeek.org) and password and you are set.
IMAP
IMAP allows you to access your email from anywhere and leave the email on a server, but requires a separate email program. Most email programs (even windows ones) can handle IMAP.
