    If your email address doesn't end in "@iinet.net.au", please see iiNet Group Email Settings.

  8. Enter the following details for the Incoming and Outgoing email server and Account type:

    Incoming email server: mail.iinet.net.au OR imap.themessagingco.com.au
    Account type: IMAP4
    Outgoing (SMTP) mail server: mail.iinet.net.au OR smtp.themessagingco.com.au

    w10setup6

    We recommend IMAP4 if you use multiple devices, otherwise POP3 will work for you.

  9. Tick the checkboxes next to the following:

    Outgoing server requires authentication
    Use the same username and password for sending emails
    Require SSL for incoming emails
    Require SSL for outgoing emails

    w10setup7
  10. Click Sign in and you're done!

    w10setup8

You should now be able to select your mailbox from your list of accounts. We recommend you send a test email to and from your iiNet email address to confirm it is working. If your email is not working, please call us on 13 22 58 for a hand.
