Chapter 8: Using the THINChome network feature

F.Setting up the Personal E-mail feature

The Personal E-mail feature allows you to access your e-mail server through the TV.

IMPORTANT NOTE

If you connect the TV to the Internet, anyone with access to the TV will be able to configure the TV to access e-mail accounts for which they have account access information (user name, password and server addresses).

If you set up any personal e-mail accounts on the TV, anyone with access to the TV will be able to read e-mail from those accounts unless you lock the profile for each e-mail account (step 8).

You should consider these factors when deciding whether to set up personal e-mail accounts and whether to keep the TV set connected (or make available easy connection) to the internet.

The Personal E-mail Setup will allow up to 4 users to set up profiles from which each profile may access their e-mail account.

c)Name or IP address of the incoming (POP3) mail server.
