Seytting up Notes 5.0 clients
(this is directly from the help file from Notes)
If you have mail on an Internet server, such as the server of an Internet
Service Provider (ISP), that uses the Post Office Protocol (POP) or Internet
Message Access Protocol (IMAP), you can use Notes to read your Internet
mail. You do this by creating a POP or IMAP account.
To send e-mail to an Internet server, you need to create a Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP) account.
Additionally, to read Usenet newsgroups, Notes makes it easy for you to set
up an account to connect to Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) servers.
Supported connections
You can connect to Internet mail by using a local area network (LAN),
Dial-Up Networking, or your own dialing program. To connect to the Internet
over a LAN from inside a firewall, you will need to use an Internet gateway
or an Internet mail server that is on the LAN.
Before you can send and receive internet mail, you need some information
usually provided by your ISP:
Phone number to connect to your ISP (if access is through modem).
Domain name of your ISP (myisp.com, for example).
For POP mail, a POP account server name (pop.myisp.com, for example).
For SMTP mail, an SMTP account server name (smtp.myisp.com, for example).
For IMAP mail, an IMAP account server name (imap.myisp.com, for example).
For Usenet newsgroups, an NNTP account server name (news.myisp.com).
Username assigned by your ISP.
Password assigned by your ISP.
The following steps describe how to set up an Internet account for POP,
SMTP, or IMAP mail, and NNTP newsgroups. To create an LDAP account, see
Creating an account to search Internet directories.
1. Click the Address Book bookmark on the bookmark bar.
2. Choose Create - Account.
3. Enter an account name (for example, POP mail) in the Account name
field. You can use any name as long as the name is not used by another
account and does not contain any of these characters: \ / : ; + = " | ? < >
[ ] { } ( )
4. Enter the name of the server in the "Account server name" field. For
example, "pop.myisp.com."
5. Enter the account login name and password in the Login name and
Password fields. POP and IMAP servers almost always require your login name
and password. SMTP and NNTP servers usually do not.
6. Select the protocol by clicking the down arrow in the Protocol field.
Protocol Description
POP Recieves mail from the Internet server using POP.
SMTP Sends mail to the Internet server.
IMAP Offline Receive mail from the Internet server using IMAP. Copies mail
messages from the Inbox on the server and stores them in the Inbox of the
mail file listed in your location document.
IMAP Online Access the Internet using IMAP. Provides direct access to your
mail on the server through a Notes proxy database that is automatically
created for you.
NNTP Provides access to Internet Usenet newsgroup discussions.
LDAP Provides access to Internet directories.
Step 3: Create or edit a location document
After you create a POP or IMAP account, you may also need to create or edit
a Location document.
1. Choose File - Mobile - Locations.
2. Click "Add Location' to create a location. To edit a location, select
the location and click "Edit Location."
3. Click the Basics tab.
4. In the "Location type" field, select a type from the list.
For network use, select "Local Area Network."
For remote use, select "Direct Dialup" or "Network Dialup."
For a location that supports more than one connection method, select
"Custom."
For a disconnected location, select "No connection."
Do not use Notes Direct Dialup.
Note Notes displays different options depending on the location type you
select.
5. In the "Location name" field, enter a name for the location.
6. Enter your Internet mail address. This is the e-mail address that will
be displayed on your mail when you send mail.
7. Click the Server tab. Note that you do not need to put your Internet
mail server on the Server tab. This is for Domino servers only.
8.
Click the Mail tab.
9.
Set the "Mail file location" to the location that will collect your POP and
IMAP Offline mail (Local or the Domino server specified in Step 7).
10. Enter the name of the mail file that will collect your POP or IMAP
Offline mail (jsmith.nsf, for example), or your IMAP online proxy
database.
11. Enter your Internet domain name. For example, "myisp.com".
12. Set the field "Send outgoing mail" to "directly to the Internet" if you
wish to send mail through an SMTP server rather than through a Domino
server.
13. (Optional) Click the Replication tab to enable replication and specify
a replication schedule. The Replication page is used is used to receive POP
and IMAP offline mail, send SMTP mail, and replicate IMAP and NNTP proxies.
14. Click "Save and Close."

why ETRN? If the smtp/pop3 services on Imail are accessed from the Notes
clients, where would ETRN be involved? Do you mean if the Notes server
used ETRN to pick mail from Imail? With a DSL line and fixed ip, ETRN
shouldn't be necessary.
