How can I set-up a Pop3 email Client to automatically check my email?
Instructions for Outlook
This can only be done if you only use a single computer to check your Pop3 email. Microsoft Outlook will download your messages to a local hard drive where you can read them at your leisure and reply. You can, if you wish, tick the box to leave a copy of your emails on bridgewaterhigh.com so they can be read from another machine. You cannot use outlook on the Curriculum network at school
