1. Document Information

This document lists and answers Frequently Asked Questions, expected to be of assistance to customers of Vodafone who use the Hosted Services solution. The Hosted Services solution provides web and domain hosting, and email services to SoHo and SMEs in various OpCos.

This document deals only with FAQs relevant to Email, Email clients and Webmail.

1.1. Purpose

Answers to FAQs are provided as a quick reference point for those questions likely to be commonly asked by customers, as well as assisting support personnel in quickly and accurately responding to customer queries.

The document should therefore be included in support training material to ensure support teams are well versed in those questions most likely to be asked by customers, as well as being published in customer accessible areas.

(7)

2. Email FAQs

2.1.

How do I get an email address ?

There are three ways in which you can get an email address with Vodafone, each one targeted to the different ways in which customers might find email most useful to them:

• An email address or multiple email addresses with your own domain, or purchase a domain through Vodafone, for example john.smith@example.com

• An email address or multiple email addresses on a sub-domain of one of Vodafone’s own hosted domains, for example john.smith@example.vodafonehosted.com

• An email address or multiple email addresses on one of Vodafone’s own hosted domains, for example john.smith@vodafonehosted.com

2.2.

What different email packages are available ?

Vodafone offers two Hosted Email products – Basic Email and Professional Email. With Basic Email, all email addresses would be on a Vodafone hosted domain (such as john.smith@vodafonehosted.com) or on a sub-domain of a Vodafone hosted domain (such as john.smith@example.vodafonehosted.com). If you would like an email address on your own domain, this is available with Professional Email.

With Basic Email the features you receive include the following:

• Mail – email services accessible either through 3rd party email clients, for example

Outlook or webmail.

• Address Book – by default this includes all contacts within your package; for example if you purchased 10 Basic Email mailboxes, your address book will automatically include details for the other 9 mailboxes. You can also manage your own contacts, or import contacts from other email systems.

• Calendar – allows you to keep on top of your personal scheduling.

• Tasks – add those tasks you don’t want to forget, by creating to-do lists and then managing tasks through to completion.

• Briefcase – allows you to upload files to your web client account. Those files will then be available from anywhere, you can log into webmail from any device on the internet installed with a supported web browser.

There are also many other features to benefit from, please see the Email Guide available within the Portal Help Content area for more details.

With Professional Email, you receive the same features as Basic Email, plus the following additional features:

• The ability to use a hosted email service against domains you own, whether they be hosted by Vodafone or another company.

(8)

• Mutiple aliases, for example john.smith@example.com or

mybusinessdescription@example.com, for which email sent to any of these aliases will be delivered to your inbox.

• The ability to access your email service from your mobile, for example Blackberry or Windows ME.

• Larger mailbox quotas and attachment sizes.

As well as choosing packages defined against either Basic Email or Professional Email, you can also choose packages based on the number of email addresses you wish to have.

2.3.

What do the different user roles mean ?

Vodafone Professional Email is based on providing a business email service to small business customers. It is expected that a business owner, or a senior manager purchasing the email service, will have need of email administrators as well as mailboxes for use by their employees.

We have therefore designed the system to allow for this kind of hierarchy, and user roles can be set in the Vodafone Hosted Services Portal. You will have received a username,

password and web address (URL) for the Portal when registering as a customer. There are three levels of users that can be set in the Portal. Firstly, there is the Account Owner. The person who owns the email package is automatically set as the Account Owner, and they have the highest level of privilege. They can add and manage users, setup email, manage mailboxes, configure spam settings, and upgrade and downgrade services. They are also able to set which of their users will be customer administrators. This is the second user role, and a customer admin can do everything an account owner can, except delete the Account Owner, and upgrade/downgrade the packages owned by the Account Owner. Lastly are the users, who have no company account administration ability but can modify through the Portal their own details.

2.4.

How do I setup my email or allocate a mailbox?

Once you have registered or been registered as a Vodafone customer for email services, you will have a username and password for the Vodafone Hosted Services Portal. This Portal can be accessed on most browsers. Once you have logged into the Portal, you can go to the Manage Mailboxes tab and allocate any of the free mailboxes listed. You will be asked to fill in your details e.g. display name (the From name you wish recipients of emails to see), and your alias (for example john.smith@example.com).

Once you save your changes, your email will be setup automatically.

2.5.

What is an alias?

When you first register with Vodafone, you will need to setup at least one alias that will be your primary email address, such as john.smith@example.com. You can do this via the Manage Mailbox tab in the Portal, by clicking on “Allocate” (or “Edit” if previously allocated). However, depending on the email package you purchased, you can also setup multiple

(9)

aliases, for example john.smith@example.com; jsmith@example.com;

bathrooms@example.com. Email sent to any of these addresses will be received in your mailbox.

2.6.

How do I access my email once it is set up ?

You can access your email either via an email client, or via webmail.

Please see the relevant user guide for more comprehensive help on how to setup email clients to access your email.

To access via webmail, just open your preferred browser and enter the URL

https://webmail.vhsmail.vodafone.com. You will then be taken to a login prompt, enter your email address and the password you setup in the Portal.

2.7.

How do I upgrade my email package ?

You can upgrade your email package in the Vodafone Hosted Services Portal, by going to the Buy Services tab and selecting “Upgrade”.

2.8.

How do I unallocate or delete a mailbox ?

With Vodafone, if you’ve purchased for example a bundle of 10 email addresses, you will have the use of 10 mailboxes for the full purchase period. Therefore, if you need to delete a mailbox, you will need to decide if you wish to permanently delete the mailbox, for example to downgrade your account from 10 mailboxes to 9, or whether you wish to delete the mailbox contents and who it is allocated to, but retain your email package of 10 mailboxes. If you wish to simply unallocate a mailbox from John Smith, with the view to re-assign it to Simon Jones, you can do so by logging into the Portal and going to the “Manage Mailboxes” tab. In the list of mailboxes generated to screen, go to the mailbox allocated to John Smith and then click on “Delete”. This will unallocate the mailbox from John Smith, and delete the mailbox contents. The mailbox will then have a state of “Unallocated” in the Mailbox Info column. You can then allocate to a new user as you wish.

If you wish to permanently delete the mailbox by downgrading your account, in the Portal go to the “Buy Services” tab, select “Email” in the submenu, and then click on the “Downgrade” option.

2.9.

How do I change my mailbox password ?

To make it easier for our customers who may have purchased web hosting, domain hosting, and email services with Vodafone, we’ve configured our systems so you only have to

remember one password. All password management occurs through the Vodafone Hosted Services Portal. If you login and go to the Manage Users tab, find your name in the list and click “Edit”, you can then change your password. Your password will be updated across all the products you have purchased – including email.

(10)

2.10.

I have lost/forgotten my mailbox password ?

Go the the URL for the Vodafone Hosted Services Portal and below the login prompt you will see a link for “Forgot your password ?”. Click on this and you will be asked for the Secret Answer to your Secret Question. Once you have answered this correctly you will be taken through the process of resetting your password.

If you can’t remember the Secret Answer you setup when registering, then please phone customer support. They will be able to find your account using various details, for example your email address or mobile number, and then will be able to confirm your identity by asking you other security questions about your account.

2.11.

What is an IP address ?

This information could be helpful in understanding messages for bounced emails. An IP address is a group of numbers in a format like 212.34.58.224, and is a method computers use for communicating and delivering data between eachother. Each computer has an IP address, and any messages for it will be routed through the internet or a network and delivered to it.

As IP addresses are not very friendly to our eyes, we give computers different names that are easier for us to remember e.g. domain names like Vodafone.com. These names are translated into IP address by servers called DNS (Domain Name Servers).

2.12.

What is DNS ?

A DNS is a Domain Name Server. There are many DNS on the internet, and their task is to translate domain names e.g. Vodafone.com, that we find much easier to remember; into IP addresses e.g. 212.34.58.224. IP Addresses are central to the method that data is passed from one computer to another.

A DNS will hold many types of records, some translate domains so we can visit websites, others translate mail exchange information so our emails can be successfully delivered to the right recipient, and still others allow a company to have multiple domain names but for which a customer will be directed to one website.

Each domain name in DNS will nominate a set of name servers to be authoritative for its DNS records. This is where all other name servers will be pointed when looking for information about the domain name.

2.13.

Some emails I send aren’t getting through

There are many reasons mail could bounce.

Bounce messages can vary in format, and in exact wording, depending on the mail server that's sending the message back to you. Different types of mail servers use different terminology. Some are quite geeky and difficult to understand. Others seem to take five paragraphs to tell you that you probably just mistyped the email address you were sending to.

(11)

2.13.1.

Understanding a Bounce back message

First, let's look at a couple of bounce messages. Highlighted within these messages are a couple of important things:

(reason: 553 sorry, relaying denied from your location [10.10.10.10] (#5.7.1)) --- Transcript of session follows ---

... while talking to smtp.example.net.: >>>> DATA

<<< 553 sorry, relaying denied from your location [10.10.10.10] (#5.7.1) 550 5.1.1 ... User unknown

<<< 503 RCPT first (#5.5.1)

Here's a bounce from another mail server which attempts to be friendlier: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at example.com.

I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

:

10.10.10.10. does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 MAILBOX NOT FOUND

Giving up on 10.10.10.10.

--- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----

The messages "MAILBOX NOT FOUND" or "User unknown" are key ... and might actually be any of several different messages depending on the reason for the failure.

2.13.2.

Common Error Messages

Mailbox Not Found, invalid mailbox, User unknown, not our customer:  

These are all saying pretty much the same thing. In the "someone@example.com" bounce examples above, the mail server "example.com" doesn't have an account for anyone with the email name "someone". A couple of common reasons:

• You typed the email address wrong. The single most common reason this error happens is simply that you made a typographical error in the email name. Check the entire email address for an error.

• It's an old email address that's no longer in use. Perhaps the person you're attempting to email has changed their email address, and you're using an old one which is no longer valid. Make sure what you're using is up-to-date.

(12)

Mailbox unavailable:

9 times out of 10, this is the same as "mailbox not found". The other 10% of the time it could mean that there's a problem with the recipients email account. What kind of problem is hard to say. Check to make sure that you have the email address correct, wait a while and try again, and if it still bounces, try contacting the recipient some other way.

Mailbox full, or Quote Exceeded:

Sometimes this will show up as a part of a "Mailbox unavailable" message. It's fairly clear, though: your recipient has too much email and their server isn't accepting any more. This is most common with web-based email services like Hotmail or Yahoo, which have limits on how much mail you can accumulate. This can also be a sign of an abandoned account - someone's stopped looking at and cleaning out the email. In any case, you'll need to try and contact your recipient through some other email account, or some other way.

Host unknown, Domain Lookup Failed:

This means that the mail server you're attempting to use, the "example.com" part, in the examples above, doesn't exist. A common reason is again, a typo on your part. Make sure you typed it in correctly. Another reason are ISPs that change their name. The largest example of this in recent memory has been "attbi.com" changing their name to

"comcast.com". Anyone trying to send to an old "attbi.com" email address might get this message in return.

Unable to Relay:

This is an uncommon error message, but also becoming more and more common as ISPs try to crack down on spam. Mail is sent by relaying email from one server to the next. There could be many servers involved, but typically it's the mail server at your ISP relaying your email to the mail server at your recipients ISP.

In general, a mail server must "know" either the sender of an email, or its recipient, in order to safely transmit mail. Mail servers that do not enforce this requirement are called "open relays" and can be exploited by spammers to send out tons of spam.

Things get complicated because not all ISPs agree on what it means to "know" the sender of an email. All of these might result in an "unable to relay" message, depending entirely on the servers and ISPs involved:

• The "From" address might not match an account on the email server.

• The ISP might require that email comes via a connection (dialup or DSL) actually provided by the ISP - sending using someone else's connection might not be allowed.

• The ISP might require you to authenticate before sending email and you haven't. • A mail server somewhere could be misconfigured.

• There's no blanket answer if "unable to relay" happens only occasionally. Double check the email address you're sending to, for starters.

Temporary Errors:

(13)

unavailable.", "Out of memory" all typically indicate a problem with a mail server that you probably don't have any control over. They are, in general, temporary, and should resolve themselves over time. Look carefully at the bounce message; the email server involved may continue to automatically try to deliver your email without any action required on your part. Blacklist Filters:

If you see messages that indicate your email was "blocked", or "listed in", and references to sites that have things like "spamcop", "dynablock", "blackhole", "spamhaus" and similar in their names, then your email was probably intentionally blocked because the receiving system thinks your ISP's mail server is a source of spam.

Various blacklisting services try to identify servers which are sources of spam. They then make that list available to ISPs, who in turn can block email coming from these sources. The problem is that criteria for addition and removal from these blacklists are vague, at best, and getting a server removed from blacklists can be very difficult. If this happens to mail you send, get in touch with your ISP and explain that their server may be on a blacklist somewhere, and then try to use a different email address, or a different email account of your own, to contact your intended recipient. You might also tell your recipient that their ISP is improperly blocking legitimate email.

Content Filters:

Much like blacklists, content filters are an approach many ISPs now implement to stem the tide of spam for their clients. Most will simply discard email that looks like spam, but some servers will actually send a bounce. Phrases in the bounce message like "Message looks like spam", "keywords rejected by the anti-spam content filter", "scored too high on spam scale" and similar means that your email, for whatever reason, tripped the spam filters on the receiving end. Your email looks too much like spam.

What does it mean to "look like spam" ? Here, again, things get vague. That definition will vary greatly based on how your recipient's email server has been configured. Obvious possibilities are the use of pornographic words or phrases, HTML formatted email, currently popular drugs being hawked by spammers, or even having something that looks too much like a sales letter or a scam. The best approach is to scan the bounce for any clues

(sometimes there's more information), and then validate your recipient can get any email by sending a simpler message. Assuming that all works, then re-work your message as best you can to not look like spam.

When a Bounce Isn't Really a Bounce

Be careful! There's a class of viruses these days that propagate by "looking like" bounce messages. They instruct you to open an attachment for more information. Don't. Especially if you don't recall sending the message in the first place. Don't open any attachment,

especially one accompanying what looks like an email bounce unless you are absolutely positively certain that it's legitimate.

You may also be getting bounce messages for email you didn't send. There's another class of virus that "spoofs" or fakes the "From" address on email messages, and as a result you could be getting bounce messages that have nothing to do with you.

Everything Bouncing ?

Finally, if every email you send bounces, then you probably have a different problem.

(14)

Chances are your email client is mis-configured. Double check your outgoing or "SMTP" server settings, and double check with your email provider to ensure that you have them set correctly.

2.14.

I haven’t received an email sent to me, what can I do ?

There are many reasons that an email delivery may fail, the person sending you the email may have received a bounced email delivery notification. See the FAQ on “Some emails I send aren’t getting through” for more information on why email may be bounced.

There are however some things you can do to help ensure you receive emails sent to you. Firstly, the email may not be getting through your spam filtering. If you trust the source, you can add their email address to your whitelist via Anti-Spam settings. Anti-Spam settings can be accessed in the Portal, go to Manage Mailbox and then edit your mailbox, within the page generated you will see a link to Anti-Spam Settings. This will open a new window for

administrating Anti-Spam, and you can edit your whitelist on the tab named “Lists”. A whitelist basically contains all the email addresses that you trust, and instructs the Anti-Spam filtering system that any emails from those email addresses are not to be treated as spam.

The other thing you can do if you’re not receiving email is to check how much space you’re using. If you’re using all your mailbox quota and therefore do not have the space to receive any more emails, you would have received an automated mailbox quota warning email. If you have received such an email you should delete some emails, or get in touch with Vodafone to upgrade your package.

2.15.

How do I edit the spam filter on my mailbox ?

Log into the Vodafone Hosted Services Portal and go to Manage Mailboxes. Find your mailbox in the list and click on “Edit”, and then select the link “Antispam Settings.” This will open a new window and automatically log you into the AntiSpam user interface where you can change your spam filter settings, setup blacklists and whitelists, or edit your spam threshold settings.

2.16.

Are catch-all mailboxes available ?

A catch-all mailbox receives all inbound emails to a domain which may have been spelled incorrectly. For example, if the email is intended for sales@vodafone.com but the sender types ssales@vodafone.com, the email finds its way through to an administrator.

This is not offered as it is effectively an additional mailbox per domain/customer, and it affects all of our sizing and storage. It is also a security issue which is explained best in the following Wiki link http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=ManagingDomains which states "This will increase the amount of spam delivered, and can lead to being blacklisted". Emails that are sent to a non-existent recipient will receive a standard non-delivery response from Zimbra (bounced email).

(15)

2.17.

Is there a limit on attachment size ?

Yes, email as a technology is very well designed for quick and accurate delivery to a widely distributed architecture, but it is not designed for the transfer of extremely large files or attachments. Attachment sizes needs to be limited to ensure the speed and efficiency of our service is not cannibalised by anyone trying to use email for a purpose that it was not intended for. However, we have ensured that the attachment size limit is a generous one. You can safely transfer many megabytes of data in each email.

2.18.

Is there a mailbox quota size ?

Yes, in order to keep control of our service and ensure high availability of the platform to all our customers we need to set a maximum size each mailbox can grow to. The alternative would be to risk affecting the performance our customers can expect to receive. However, we have ensured a vast number of emails taking up many gigabytes of data can safely be stored before quotas are hit. Also, we will send you an automated email should you ever get close to the quota, asking you to clear out some old mails.

2.19.

Can I stop one of my employees using their email ?

Yes, all mailboxes can either be suspended or terminated. If you have suspended a mailbox whilst someone is on extended leave, or perhaps whilst one of your employees undertakes disciplinary investigations, then you can re-activate or terminate the mailbox at a later date.

2.20.

Can I suspend or terminate a mailbox ?

Yes, all mailboxes can either be suspended or terminated. If you have suspended a mailbox whilst someone is on extended leave, or perhaps whilst one of your employees undertakes disciplinary investigations, then you can re-activate or terminate the mailbox at a later date.

2.21.

Can basic emails be grouped together in one account ?

Yes, because basic emails all end in @vodafonehosted.com, and there are thousands of people with email addresses ending in @vodafonehosted.com, it could be expected that it’s impossible to group together for example 4 people with email addresses

example1@vodafonehosted.com through to example4@vodafonehosted.com, whilst excluding example5@vodafonehosted.com or example417@vodafonehosted.com.

However, we keep track of all our mailboxes with a unique identifier, so if you don’t want to own your own domain or buy a professional email – perhaps you want your family members grouped together or have started a local volunteers group – we can still group all your basic mailboxes together so they can share contacts, and be administered centrally on the

Vodafone Hosted Services Portal by one or many of your group.

What is the GAL (Global Address List) ?

The Global Address List is a list of all contacts in your Vodafone Hosted Services account. If for example when purchasing services from Vodafone you bought a bundles of 10 email addresses, the GAL will automatically be populated with all allocated mailboxes i.e. those mailboxes you have allocated and setup with an email address. Your GAL is available in webmail, or via a 3rd-party email client configured to use IMAP.

3. Email Client FAQs

3.1.

Which Email Clients are supported?

Generally any client that allows you to set the following will successfully connect to our email service:

• An outgoing mail server • An incoming mail server

• Port information for outgoing and incoming mail servers

• A checkbox selection for “My outgoing server requires authentication” • Entries for username and password information.

These are all standard requirements, therefore the list of supported clients is fairly exhaustive. However some of the more popular supported clients are Outlook Express, Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Mac Mail, Entourage and Windows Live Mail.

3.2.

IMAP and POP3 explained

Whichever client you’re using to access your email, you’ll have to decide whether you use IMAP or POP3. With our email service, both are available for you to use. Both IMAP and POP3 are used for email retrieval, but they work in different ways. The key differences are:

• With IMAP you have a two-way communication channel with the servers your email is held on, whilst POP3 supports only a one-way communication channel. So, using IMAP anything you change on your email client will be reflected on your email server e.g. sorting your email or moving them to new folders. With POP, you can download your emails but you can’t make any changes in your client that would be reflected on the email server.

• IMAP supports multiple devices in that more than one device can be connected to the email server at once. Importantly, because any changes you make on a client are reflected on the email server, if you make a change on Device 1 they’ll also be reflected on Device 2 because they’ll both be sychronising with the server at the same time. With POP, you can only have one connection at a time to the server. We therefore recommend IMAP if you’re using more than one device to access your email, or if you wish to synchronise all your email folders and not just your inbox. However, if you’re using one device, and are happy just to download the messages in your inbox, POP3 will be fine for what you need.

3.3.

How do I allow POP access from other mail clients ?

You can set this up by logging into webmail and going to Preferences, and then “Mail”. At the bottom of the loaded page, you’ll see a section titled “Access from other mail clients”:

(18)

You can choose either to allow all mail to be downloaded, even mail received prior to setting up access from another email client, or you can choose just to download email received from now on. Bear in mind, if you choose the first option you might have a large number of

historical emails that will be downloaded when you first connect. However, if you’re setting this up as a new customer to Vodafone, either choice won’t result in your first connection downloading a lot of emails.

What is the difference between HTML and Plain Text ?

Emails can be sent either in HTML or Plain Text format. See the FAQ for “How do I change what format I send my emails in?” for more information on how to change this.

The differences between the two are as follows:

• Plain text – this is as described, it’s pretty plain. You can’t have formatting, different colours, different layouts, and you can’t include pictures in the body of your email (although you can add pictures as attachments).

• HTML – allows you to specify formatting, colours, positioning, layout, as well as include pictures in the body of your email.

What are tags ?

Tags are a way of classifying email messages, contacts, tasks and appointments. You can have multiple tags e.g. Personal or Work, and you can apply those tags to different

messages, contacts, tasks and appointments.

You can then sort your messages, contacts, tasks and appointments by tag. It doesn’t matter then what folder for example the email message is in, all messages with that tag will be found.

How do I sort by tag ?

All your tags are listed in the Tag window on the left hand side of your screen. If you are looking for email messages with a particular tag, make sure you are on the Mail tab in your top menu. Then click on whichever tag you wish to sort by, all emails with this tag will be sorted to screen.

Likewise, if you wish to sort calendar appointments, ensure you are on the Calendar tab in your top menu. Clicking the same tag as before will now sort calendar appointments rather than email. You can also sort contacts and tasks by clicking the same tag, but by changing your selection in the top menu between Mail, Address Book, Calendar and Tasks.
