Once all the configurations are properly completed, you can start sending and receiving emails using your Nepal Telecom email account.
Upon checking for new mails, if your password has been changed or mistyped, it will again ask for your password as shown in Fig. 3.12. You once again type your password correctly over here and press OK.
For those who have subscribed to email-only service from Nepal Telecom, and if you are not getting your connection you can also use ’emailntc’ as both userid and password while connecting to Nepal Telecom. Do not change the account name in your mail program such as the Outlook Express.
