Important:  Our systems require SMTP authentication to send e-mail.  This is necessary to keep spammers from hijacking our mail system.  The earliest version of Goldmine that is SMTP authentication capable is version 5.7.  Earlier versions cannot be used to send e-mail through our systems.

 

Key Settings:

Incoming Mail Server = mail.acn.net.

Outgoing Mail Server = mail.acn.net.

SMTP Authentication (e-mail username) is required to send mail.

 

  Editing existing e-mail accounts :

Editing an e-mail account in Goldmine is like creating one.  They're created and edited in the same place.  To edit an existing e-mail account, follow these steps:

On the Toolbar, click Edit and select Preferences from the drop-down menu.

 

The User's Preferences window appears.

Select the Internet tab.

POP3 server = The Incoming (POP3) mail server is mail.acn.net.
Username  =  Enter your e-mail username (everything before the @acn.net).
Password  =  Enter the password to your e-mail account.
Important:  Passwords are case-sensitive.  Ensure the Caps Lock is disabled.

You can enable Goldmine to dial-up to the Internet.  With this feature enabled, when you launch Goldmine, it will use your Internet connection to dial up to the Internet.

1.  Check the box Use Dial-up networking to enable this.
2.  Select the connection you'd like Goldmine to use to connect to the Internet.

The Internet Preferences window opens.

Select the Accounts tab.

Highlight the desired account and click the Edit button.

 

Account name  =  You can call the account whatever you'd like.  Be distinctive to distinguish it from any other account you may create.  In this example, I gave the account the name 'Work'.

Click the Advanced Options button.
