Get Started

When doing anything, one must get started first in order to progress. This page will (in time) provide you with vital information on hooking yourself up to the World Wide Web and carving out your own space there. By force.

Get in

Type ssh <username>@pronounmail.com into your terminal and enter that thing!!!

It will ask you for your password. You should have gotten this somehow at some point

Here's some more information on the shell okay? Please don't cry

Change your password

  1. passwd
  2. Type your password of choice and it will not give you any visual feedback
  3. Hit enter and repeat steps 2 and 3
  4. Success

Connect your email client

So, you have your email address, but how do you. you know. get mail? You need to connect this email address to your clienr, be that 'Michaelsoft Outlurk', 'Gee, Mail!', 'Yippee!', or indeed your own special herbal blend of IMAP/SMTP goodness.

To do this, you need to add a new email account, but set it up manually. Here are the incantations that you must chant into your client in order to get it to do the thing:

Wow!! Look at this table
Thing Value thereof
Incoming Hostname[1] mail.pronounmail.com
Protocol IMAP
Port 993
Security SSL/TLS
Username Your email address with or without the @pronounmail.com
Password Your Password
Outgoing Hostname[1] mail.pronounmail.com
Protocol SMTP
Port 465
Security SSL/TLS
Username/Password Same as incoming
  1. 1.0 1.1 This is what Apple Mail wants when they ask for ‘Mail Server’.

More details here mmkay?

At some point there will be a Webmail and it will be so freaking awesomesauce lois

Learn HTML or die trying. I for one have done the latter. Don't be like me.

To edit your web site, use one of these fine methods:

Learn how to use the shell

Be like a snail. Don’t be like a slug.

The shell is the main way of interfacing with the pronounmail.com server. It's not that hard as long as you already know how the shell works.
