Microsoft Surface email setup
Before you can configure email software to send and receive emails from our servers, you must:
- Ensure you have your incoming, outgoing, username and password details ready to go
- Outgoing email is an optional service from 2020Media. Therefore you may be using an incoming mail server from 2020Media and an outgoing mail server from a third party
Note: As a courtesy to our customers, we provide online tutorials on how to configure various email software. Our staff, however, are not able to provide support on how to use the Microsoft Surface tablet or its Mail application. For further assistance in using Mail please visit Microsoft's Surface support pages.
