Tips for using www.hover.com
Outlook 2002/2003
This lesson explains how to configure your Hover Email account in Outlook 2002/2003 as a POP3 account.
Configure Outlook 2002/2003
Open your Outlook software then click on the Tools menu and select E-mail Accounts.
Select Add a new e-mail account then click Next.
Select POP3 as the server type then click Next.
Fill out the Internet E-mail Settings screen with the following information:
Your Name: How you want your name to appear when you send e-mail
E-mail Address: Enter your full Hover email address
Incoming mail server (POP3): mail.hover.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): mail.hover.com
User Name: Enter your full Hover email address
Password: Enter your e-mail password
In the screenshot above, you can see how I set up apewtey@awesomesnowremoval.com using these settings.
After entering your account information, click on More Settings.
Click on the Outgoing Server tab and put a check next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication."
Click on the Advanced tab. Ensure sure that "This server requires an SSL secured connection" is checked for the Incoming and Outgoing server then change the Outgoing server (SMTP): port from 25 to 465.
Under Delivery, you have the option to leave a copy of messages on our server. This is useful if you want to download messages to more than one computer or if you want to be able to view messages remotely using Web Mail. In the example above, I've chosen to leave a copy of messages on the server until the message has been deleted from the Deleted Items folder. This will ensure that unwanted e-mail doesn't clutter the inbox on the server. I could also have selected the option to remove messages from the server after a specific number of days.
After changing the port number and configuring on your delivery preferences click on OK.
Test Account Settings
Click on Test Account Settings. The status of all tasks should be Completed. This verifies that your settings are working. Close the Test Account Settings window.
Finish And Save Settings
Click Next then click Finish to complete the account set up.
Your Hover POP account has been configured in Outlook!

This was very helpfull for me. Thank You
never could get the IMAP mail working. However- did get the POP3 working on my wife's computer so now all is happy here. Thanks for a good tutorial
Great walkthru thanks!
I agree. Excellent instructions. And thanks to Hover -- the SSL secured connection seems to be the solution that keeps you from having to change the smtp server when one is travelling and accessing e-mail from a different provider. Great!
Clear walk through, all is good.
Thanks
