ccaronline email changes

As you all are aware we have been experiencing issues with the ccaronline.com email addresses. In order to correct the problem, we are moving our email hosting to another company that can provide better and more stable service. The email server will be shut down and switched over Friday December 12, 2008 after 5:00 pm and should be back online Saturday morning, December 13. Please do not send emails during this time. During the switch all emails will be held until the servers have been switched and turned back on so that no emails will be lost during the change over.

If you check your email through the internet by logging on to webmail no changes are necessary. Please disregard the following. Do not read any further!
However, if you currently use a program like Outlook, Windows Mail, or Thunderbird you will need to make some changes to your email setting before it will work properly. The Outgoing mail server will need to be mail.ccaronline.com and the Outgoing port will need to be 587. I have included the steps and videos for how to make the changes in Outlook 2007, Outlook 2003, and Windows Mail below.

If you check your ccaronline.com email through your Palm phone similar changes will be required.

Thank You for your patience,
Josh Ellington
