How to configure Netmail account on Outlook 2007

Warning - This post is useful!

Many of you wanted to know how to configure Outlook for Netmail. To save time, i'm writing the steps here. 

For those of you who've never used Outlook, do read the intro. All those who are already familiar, please move on to the settings directly.

Intro

Outlook 2007 allows you to store your email's on your PC's hard drive. So you can access your old mails when there is no internet connectivity or when the Netmail server is down. Also, due to limited space in Netmail, you have to delete mails on a regular basis. Having Outlook configured on your PC, lets you access all mails without having to delete them.

Settings

I could not configure Netmail to directly flow to Outlook. There's a workaround. Forward all mails from Netmail to your Gmail account. Gmail can be configured on Outlook.

a) Configure Netmail

1. Log in to Netmail. Click on Options -> Rules -> Select 'Forward' from the drop down -> 'Create'
2. Under Rule Name, write 'Gmail'
3. In 'To' write your Gmail Id. eg - amit.103@gmail.com
4. Click 'Save'

All the mails that you receive on Netmail will now be forwarded to your Gmail account.

b) Configure Gmail

1. Log in to Gmail. Click on 'Settings' -> 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP'
2. Select 'Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on' and 'Save Changes'

c) Configure Outlook 2007

1. Make sure Outlook 2007 is installed as a part of your Office 2007 in your PC
2. Now follow the instructions given here

Known issues

1. Some mails are not forwarded from your Netmail account due to server issues.  Please check once a day, so as not to miss important deadlines.
2. On some PC's a particular port number may not work, while configuring Outlook. These are my settings.

Anything else, feel free to contact.

People of Mango Forum

Statutory Warning - The following contents may create history. So don't get left out, be a part of it.

 PMF Charter

Introduction

People of Mango Forum (PMF) is a Non Government Body (NGB) registered under no act. It is formed to help the Aam Aadmi (read Mango People) of our institute, who do not have any role whatsoever in any of the serious committees that have been formed or will be formed in the future.

Mission

To do nothing substantial. As it is life is short, why waste time on serious matters ?

Vision

This forum provides a sense of belonging to fellow individuals, who do not get a chance to wear formals at odd hours, venture out of the campus for pitching/sponsorship, perform cold calling 24X7, assign DGP's or gather a batch meet.

 (I still don't know the difference between vision and mission)

Membership Details

Anybody can join, provided he/she is not a member of any official committee. No joining fee (We don't want funds to be confiscated to sponsor upcoming college events). And no DCP's please!

Agenda

1. There shall be no elections/interview. Each member is free to choose his/her own designation.

e.g - I appoint myself as the President of PMF. Similarly, you can choose any post you like. Just declare it on the blog (comments section).

2. Batch meets will be held at the most obscure places like mess, lover's lane (we'll make sure nobody is disturbed) etc. It will not amount to wastage of time, because our time is not precious, as it is.

3. The forum is not answerable to anybody and we do not need a PR agency. Word of mouth/ FB/ GTalk status publicity will suffice.

4. Simple 'Hi/Hello' is a preliminary greeting for fellow members. 'Kya chal raha hai' may follow later.

5. ForEx students should have an equal right for 'fancy' positions.


Guess, this is enough. Add more in the comments part, if anything new is required. The following people have already registered. Now, please select your own fancy posts.

Election Symbols

I see a lot of lobbying for student body elections. Politics makes me stay away. But i really like the concept of soap box. A lot more can be added to increase my interest levels. Having election symbols for each candidate is one of them.

Let's see what kind of election symbols some of our friends might have : (Pure Imagination. Don't kill me for this)

1. Doctor - Vertical Bed
2. Vedhus - Dates (commodity; not services)
3. Fresher Moorthy - Chai
4. Preyoshi - Weighing Scale (can apply to Moorthy too!)
5. Ramki - Any food item will do.
6. Sonali - A large handbag.
7. Peter - Bicycle
8. Aditi - Origami
9. Arjun - Tractor
10. Madhuri - Sweets

That's all i could manage before my hands freeze. Feel free to add anything in comments. Will write more if the mercury rises. But don't let it desist you from voting responsibly. Ciao :)
