Free email services
Just a reminder about using email.
Personal email
You can have a free email address based upon the bishopthorpe.net web site. This gives the advantage of being able to set it up in your email program on your computer - in Microsoft Outlook for example. Your emails however can also be operated in a web browser - known as webmail - rather like using Yahoo or another commercial service. The advantage of bishopthorpe.net webmail however is that you get no advertising on your email screen, and of course you can get access to mail anywhere in the world with internet access. Just send an email to mailstuff at bishopthorpe dot net with your first name and last name, and your preferred email name in the form "your.name" at bishopthorpe.net.
Bishopthorpe Friends List
You can join the growing group of Bishopthorpe people who communicate via the Friends email list. Sign up to send and receive news, or to ask questions of local people. To subscribe to this village email list, send an (empty) message to this address. The mail program will send a confirmation request back to you. To confirm your subscription, you just reply to the "Reply-To" address.

How do we set up the account in MS Outlook?

You set up in any email program as follows:
Incoming Mail (POP3) should be set to: mail.bishopthorpe.net
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) should be set to: mail.bishopthorpe.net
Login: your email name
