This page explains how to set up the free Pegasus Mail program to send and receive e-mail for a POP mailbox that you've created.
Before you continue, you should enter your e-mail address (the address you want to set up in Pegasus Mail) in the box above. Entering your e-mail address makes sure that the instructions below are correct.

Type mail.tigertech.net as the address of your POP3 server, then click Next.
Your "username" is your e-mail address. Type your e-mail address as your username. (The user name must be all lowercase).
