First-Time Users: Configuring the VTech
Software E-mail Agent
Important!
The VTech® E-mail Agent is a mail transfer program only. You cannot view or edit
E-mail using the VTech® E-mail Agent.
E-mail Agent retrieves and saves the messages as files on the PC, and then deletes
them on the server. The E-mail Agent cannot sync with other PC E-mail applications.
Before configuring the VTech® E-mail Agent, make sure you have the following
information ready. If you do not have the required information, please contact
your Internet Service Provider for assistance. You will need to know:
• Your E-mail name (For example, if your e-mail address is alan@vtech.com,
then your E-mail name would probably be alan.)
• Your E-mail password
• Outgoing Mail (SMTP)
• Incoming Mail (POP3)
After configuring the Power Zone™ E-mail application and VTech
Software E-mail Agent, you can begin writing E-mail. See the section, Using the
Power Zone™ E-mail Application for additional information.
Using the Power Zone™ E-mail Application

The Mailbox

When you enter the Power Zone™ E-mail application, you will see your Mailbox.
Your Mailbox is divided into three smaller boxes: Inbox, Outbox and Draftbox.
Click on a box to open it. The number that appears in each box is the number of
E-mail messages in that box.
• The Inbox is where you will find all of the E-mails that have been sent to you.
• The Outbox is where you place E-mails that are ready to be sent.
• The Draftbox is where you store unfinished E-mail messages. Messages in
the Draftbox will automatically be deleted after they have been sent.

The Menu Bar

The menu bar at the top of the screen lets you access different E-mail Functions.
The E-mail application will only show the available functions at the moment. So
you may not see all the functions at one time.

Using the Menu Bar

To open a menu, click on the menu name. The functions available will be displayed.
To select a function, left-click on it.
