Email Delivery

Not all email delivery is the same. At Inca Net we support a range of mail delivery systems, certain to meet your requirements

POP3 (mailboxes)

Pop3 is the standard form of email delivery provided when you register an account with Inca Net. It is equivalent to having a Post Office Box at the post office for traditional ("snail") mail. All of your incoming email goes into one mailbox and is stored on a server at Inca Net. When you connect to the internet, you retrieve the email from the pop mailbox using an email client such as MS Outlook, Eudora or Netscape Mail, or through the Inca Net Mail Web Interface.

If you would like to have a second email address to deliver email to your existing Inca Net mailbox, we have the solution. Inca Net can let you have an alias (eg i_am@incanet.co.nz, johnis@inca.net.nz) at one of the Domains listed above, pointing to your existing mailbox.

SMTP (aka Store and Forward, Mail Bagging)

SMTP is available from Inca Net on request. This method of mail delivery is equivalent to having a private mail bag for 'snail' mail, where all your company mail is put into one bag which is delivered to your company mail room for internal distribution onsite. With SMTP mail delivery, all email for your company domain name is not stored in a mailbox, but rather put into a queue to which you connect through a business dial up account or which is sent directly through to you. The email queued will be sent to you when received.
If using a dial up account, Email server software (e.g. Eudora Internet Mail, Microsoft Exchange Server or MDaemon), retrieves email from the queue, and distributes it to staff across a LAN, using it's own internal email mailboxes.

Please note: SMTP mail delivery requires that you have a Domain Name.
