For anyone who is using Outlook 2007 (or any other version of Outlook) and having trouble sending, try changing your port from 587 to 465. This should clear up your problems.

Due to the recent server upgrades that we performed, we're now able to offer a Jabber based instant messaging service for Armerding.org users. What this means is that you can use your email address as your instant messaging account that anyone using a Jabber server can contact you with (an example is Google Talk). If you are unsure what exactly Jabber is, it is an open and standards based messaging protocol, versus the proprietary ones run by AOL, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc. It is more akin to email, where anyone can run their own server.

So if you're wondering how to use your account, all you need to do is run a Jabber client. A list of suggested clients follows:

* Windows
   - Psi: http://psi-im.org/
   - Pandion: http://www.pandion.be
   - Miranda: http://miranda-im.org (see note)
   - Pidgin: http://pidgin.im (see note)
* Linux
   - Psi: http://psi-im.org/
   - Pidgin: http://pidgin.im (see note)
   - Kopete: http://kopete.kde.org (see note)
* Mac OS X
   - Psi: http://psi-im.org/
   - iChat: comes with Mac OS X 10.4
   - Adium: http://www.adiumx.com (see note)

Alternatively you can use a web based client at: http://www.meebo.com

Once you have your client chosen and installed, all you need to do is give it your armerding.org email address (including the "armerding.org" part) and password. If you need help getting it configured, feel free to email me for support.

(Note: Miranda, Pidgin, Kopete, and Adium support connecting to multiple services at once. You can use a client like these to still connect to your AIM, Yahoo, and MSN accounts while also connecting to your Armerding.org account)

Whoops! Miscommunication between Peter and Will. Your initial password sent out via email starts and ends with lowercase letter. Please login to the armerding.org website FIRST and change your password to one of your own choosing. Then select the webmail link to access your mail by logging in to the Armerding.org WebMail. When this is all working then setup your PC's email client settings according to the script at http://irack.ath.cx/mail-setup/.

Call Peter if you need help.

Sorry to say we had a faliure of the gallery server last night. Most of the other functions are now working correctly but it may be some time until we get the gallery link pointing to the new location of the albums. Sorry for the inconvenience.
