What is it?
It's an email address. You know how email works. Your address is username@moonbeam.town, and can be used just like any other email address.
What can I do with it?
The same kinds of things that you can do with any email – send and receive messages, either to other Moonbeam.town users or to people in the wider internets.
How do I get started?
Moonbeam.town uses the “Rainloop” webmail software, which can be accessed from your user control panel or by going to https://mail.moonbeam.town/. You can also set up mail clients such as Thunderbird or K9 Mail to read your Moonbeam.town mail, using the following settings:
Incoming Mail
Moonbeam.town maintains IMAP mailboxes, which can be accessed with any standard email client using the following settings:
- Protocol: IMAP
- Server: moonbeam.town
- Port: 993
- Encryption: SSL/TLS
- Username: username (do not include @moonbeam.town)
Depending on your mail client, you may be asked to manually approve the self-signed certificates used by Moonbeam.town's mail stack. This is expected and safe.
Outgoing Mail
You can also use Moonbeam.town to send email via SSMTP. You can use the following settings to do so via your email client:
- Protocol: SMTP
- Server: moonbeam.town
- Port: 587
- Encryption: STARTTLS
- Username: username (again, do not include @moonbeam.town)
PGP Encryption
PGP is a way of sending encrypted messages that can't be read by third parties. I'll write up a guide to using this eventually, but right now I have a baby to feed.
