There are several ways to read Email these days. It is also common to have sev-
eral Email accounts on several different places. B3 provides a simple solution to
this, by collecting all your Email at one place.
Rememberto:
• Enable the email services, described in chapter “Services” on page 32.
• Open required ports in your firewall, described in chapter “Firewall” on page
40 or in chapter “Reaching B3 from outside” on page 131.
You will find an overview of the email settings in chapter “Email” on page 33.

Fetchmail is a very convenient way to collect all your Email at one place. If
you set up B3 to fetch your Email from other external Email accounts you may
have, they will be stored on B3 and available via IMAP or web email, wherever
you are. Set up this service by adding a fetchmail account under the ‘Email’
button in the administration interface.
When using retrieve email (whether you choose IMAP or POP) B3 will erase the
eMails from the server and store them locally on your computer.
Usageexample-retrieveemail
To fetch email from your external account (i.e. ‘user1extern@yahoo.com’):
1. Log on to B3 web admin interface using as ‘user1’.
2. Click ‘Email’ -> ‘Retrieve email’ . Click ‘Add new email account’. Fill in your
email information provided to you by your external Email provider. It is ac-
tually the same information you use when setting up your Email client (i.e.
Microsoft Outlook’) to read email from there.
Now, email to ‘user1extern@yahoo.com’ are also received by B3, and made
available to user1.
This Email is available either using the webmail function (
http://b3/mail
or
http://b3.local/mail
if using Mac) or if you want to read the Email using your
favourite Email client (se section READING EMAIL below). Done!
