MacMail Issue

3月

31日

MacMail does not seem to handle SSL connection very well. So, if you are having problem communication with email server using MacMail, you might want to turn off (uncheck) SSL connection.

This picture shows the SSL connection being checked. To get to this screen, select Mail Menu Preference --- Select Account --- Advanced Tab

This SSL connection issue is specific to MacMail software. There is no connection issue that we know about iPhone or iPad Mail software.

Why Should You Consider PSPINC...

3月

24日

Why Should You Consider PSPINC for your Web and Email Hosting?

Aren’t all hosting companies basically the same? If so, why shouldn’t you just choose the cheapest option for your web and email? This argument would be valid if the idea that “all hosting companies are the same” was true, but that is just not the case. When you look at websites of hosting companies, they all look alike. In fact, even I can’t tell why some hosting companies’ prices are so much different from others.

So we should really look at the history of web and email outsourcing. When we started our hosting business in 1996, we provided a mere 10MB of web and 10MB of email storage for $75 per month, which was very inexpensive at the time. Currently, we provide 1,000 times the space for both web and email for about $21 per month. If you were to pay the same rate as you were 1996, your current service from PSPINC would cost $75,000. This means we have reduced our price 99.972% in last 16 years.

One reason we could do this is because we build all our infrastructure and back-end software ourselves. We own and constantly update and upgrade our software and hardware to remain up-to-date and competitive without over-spending. We do not license software from other companies. We are primarily a hosting company, but we are also a software development company with almost 25 years of industry experience. We have been building software since the days of MD-DOS, Apple Talk and 8086 Assembly Language. I have worked with IBM mainframe network SNA since I graduated from the college in 1983. I have been working with large-area private and public network since when there was no internet or even Compuserve or AOL.

Are we better than other hosting companies? Because different clients have different needs, I can’t comment on “better or worse”, but we are certainly different. Our pricing is about same as any other major hosting company in the US or around the world, but we can serve you better because we built our products ourselves. If there is a problem, we can fix it right away rather than wait for the original software development company. We can communicate with the most sophisticated engineers and web developers because we know what we are doing.

So when you are choosing which company to trust with your web and email, you should give us a call. We are a different kind of hosting company, working to provide the most reliable and affordable solutions for your business needs. We are different and proud of it.

Switch from POP3 to IMAP

3月

23日

POP3 to IMAP

As you know, we have upgraded your email server system from POP3 to IMAP/POP3. Using IMAP allows you to sync email between your PC and any mobile devices, like a tablet or smartphone.

If you have decided to move from POP3 to IMAP, great! However, please read these instructions before making the changeover, or else you may inadvertently lose all of your email, like I just did (fortunately I had everything backed up).

First, to recap, the difference between POP3 and IMAP is that you store your all your email on your PC with POP3, and on a server with IMAP. When you switch from POP3 to IMAP, all your new email will stay on the server, but do not forget that all your old emails are still on your PC. This is what I did. Once I had set up IMAP on my PC and made sure it worked, I deleted my POP3 setup on my mail software, which also deleted all the email stored on my PC.

That is what you should not do when you switch to IMAP.

The first step to properly switching to IMAP is to take your POP3 email client software offline, meaning it will not send or receive any email. Once your email software is offline, create a backup of your email. Once this is done, instead of the modifying current POP3 setup to IMAP (which many email clients will not let you do anyway), create a new account within your email client for IMAP. Send or receive an email to make sure IMAP is working.

When that is complete, you should have both POP3 (now offline) and IMAP (now working) set up on your email client. That is how the system should work while you are transitioning your email from POP3 to IMAP.

You can then start copying emails from your PC to the IMAP server by creating folders for the IMAP account, and dragging and dropping email from your PC to the server. When all your emails are moved or copied to the IMAP server and you confirm that they are there, you can delete the POP3 account from your email software.

Remember, IMAP takes a lot of disk space on the server, so make sure you have enough for all your email. If you do not have enough space on the server, you will need to add more space by asking your provider, in this case PSP Inc.

IMAP is a wonderful system for people who have more than one device they use to access email, but to take advantage of it, you need to transfer your email safely. If you need assistance transferring from POP3 to IMAP, PSP Inc. support is happy to work with you.

IMAP is Here!!!

3月

15日

IMAP Now Available for All DreamersI.netUsers. But What Does That Mean?

I do not wish to bore you with the technical details about how email systems in work, but it is worth mentioning what the IMAP service means for you.

Until now, all email PSPINC provided was using a system called POP. POP works like regular mail that you get from the post office. When email comes to your inbox, you go out to get it. When you take out the mail and read it, the mailbox becomes empty again. All email that you receive through a POP system is stored in mail software like Outlook, Live Mail, Thunderbird or Mac Mail.

IMAP is different. When you receive email using IMAP, you are not downloading the email to your computer, it stays in the server. You read, file, organize, reply to, and delete all your email on the server instead of on your computer. You can always download any and all email to your PC anytime you wish, but the purpose of IMAP is to manage all your email on the server.

So Why Would You Want IMAP Over POP?

There are basically two reasons you may want to use IMAP. The main reason would be multiple device support. Because emails are managed on the server rather than after they are downloaded to your computer, all devices that access mailbox on the server can see emails the way they are stored in the server. So, when you delete email from your computer, the same email is deleted from your inbox when you check it from your smart phone or tablet. This is a great feature to have if you check your email from multiple devices like PC, Laptop, Tablet, and Smart Phone.

The second reason why you might want to use IMAP is security. Because all emails are stored on the server, when you lose your computer, it will not hold any email that may contain sensitive information. All you have to do is to change the password, and your email cannot be accessed from your lost computer.

Is IMAP for Everybody?

No, it is not. Because your emails stay on the server all the time, you cannot access your email when you are cut off from the Internet. However, since people are more connected to the Internet than ever, this may not be much of a problem anymore. But for this very reason, our new mail service supports both POP and IMAP.

Another item that one must consider is storage space on the server. The minimum setting for DreamersI.net is 10GB of storage space for 10 email accounts, which should be enough for a few years of email for average business use. However, because IMAP stores all emails on the server, you many need to add more space unless you delete old emails to make space for new ones, which you can always do for a nominal fee. Just ask a PSP Inc. representative.

We are upgrading your email service to a new server, but it should be exactly the same to you. We are even moving your email from the old server as well. When the move is complete, PSP Inc. will notify you. From then on, you will be able to use new IMAP feature on DreamersI.net.

Setting Up IMAP On Your Email Software

If you would like to setup your email clients to work as IMAP, please contact PSP Inc. and our qualified support staff will be glad to help you make the transition. Thank you for choosing DreamersI.net and PSPINC.

You can contact PSPINC at info@pspinc.com or call 1-425-957-0808 / 1-800-232-3989

We are planning to release a software that resides in the Windows Server to monitor the activities. When a service or an application becomes inactive (unresponsive) this software kills the service or application and restart it.

If the service or application fails to restart, the software reboot the Windows Server and alert the administrator what it did. This automates many of the problems Windows Server administrators have to do.

This software has been in use at PSPINC data center for more than 8 years. We are finally making this available to you. For more information, contact me at ken.uchikura@pspinc.com.

The code name for this product is called "NT Reboot".
