Setting : Email Client
Before you make settings, please confirm the following.
- Neither Windows 7 nor Windows 8 has no pre-installed email clients that you can use for Asahi Net email service. Therefore you will need to download programs on your own.
- (Japanese Only) Microsoft Japan | How to use POP emails with Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1
- When sending and receiving Asahi Net emails, encryption feature is available by using POP over SSL/TLS (recommended), SMTP over SSL/TLS (recommended) or APOP authentication.
- Some outdated email clients may have issue receiving and sending messages when using encryption feature. (SSL/TSL). We recommend using the latest products.
