The new email server is online and running.
Waypoint has finally upgraded our email server and we are hoping you will like the changes.
One item of note that virtually everyone has asked for is a
"Sent" folder in the webmail interface and we got it for you
Read on below and find the section that will help you make the corrections to your account settings depending on which email program you use on your computer.
For every spot that asks for you to change your username YOU MUST ADD the full @waypt.com and not the short @waypt.com
also you must all lowercase letters for the username and domain (ie username@waypt.com) if any of the leters are uppercase you
not receive any emails as the system only recognizes lowercase.
The old Mail server will be going offline on October 1, 2012. Please have all your changes done by then.
- Open your email client (Outlook Express, Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail)
- Navigate through your menus to the account properties for your Waypoint Email Account
- UPDATE: Change the incoming and outgoing server names to mail.waypt.com. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP
- In the username add @waypt.com after it so it appears just like an email address.
(You must use @waypt.com and not the @waypt.com for the account name only. You can still use @waypt.com for your reply to email address.
All @waypt.com emails coming in get automatically forwarded to your @waypoint account).
- If you are using Gmail to fetch your Waypoint email you
need to make changes as well. Click the gear under your name and click "Settings" then click

and a small popup appears. Change the server to mail.waypt.com, set the
incoming port to 110, add @waypt.com after your username
and deselect use SSL. Retype your password and click the save button. If you do not change these settings you
continue to try to get mail from the old server.
