8. Iridium AxcessPoint Mail Setup
Iridium AxcessPoint Mail is simple and easy to use. Emails can be created offline. You can create and send one
email at a time or you can create multiple emails and send them all later when connected to the Iridium
network. Emails received during satellite connection can be read offline after the connection terminates.
Emails will be sent and received to a new <user>@myiridium.net email address that is created and provided
during registration. Additional instructions are provided to forward or “fetch” other emails to this address in
the following section. Your @myiridium.net account will only be accessible when you are connected to Iridium
AxcessPoint Mail & Web using an Iridium connection. Therefore it is recommended that emails are forwarded
or fetched from existing accounts and the @myiridium.net account is used to view and respond to emails
while using Iridium. This way you will not miss emails when you are not using your Iridium AxcessPoint.
To setup, first launch the Iridium AxcessPoint Mail & Web software by double ‐ clicking on the <AxcessPoint>
icon on the computer desktop or dock. This will open up the Connection Manager menu. From here, you can:

Start and stop the Iridium connection
