How do I access webmail?

We have two webmail address’s, Our Exchange server is accessed by going to http://mail.dynamite.net.nz, and Sentora is at http://webmail.dynamite.net.nz. If you’re not sure, try logging into both.
Username (valid for both servers): yourname@domain.co.nz

How do I access mobile webmail?

If you’re wanting to access email on a smartphone, it would be best to use our Exchange server, and setup Exchange sync (available on Android Phones and Tablets, Apple iPhone & iPad and Windows phones)

Do you have a smart phone?  have a look at our Exchange sync option

How do I setup an email client for POP3/IMAP?

For Outlook 2013, 2016 & 2019:
Navigate to File > Accounts, and create a new ActiveSync or Outlook.com account
Email server is mail.dynamite.net.nz

For Outlook 2010:
Navigate to File > Accounts, and create a new Internet Email account
Use the settings below:

Incoming mail server: mail.dynamite.net.nz
Outgoing mail server: mail.dynamite.net.nz
Outgoing mail is authenticated – Use same settings as incoming mail.
Username: yourname@domain.co.nz

If you need a hand setting up your emails, give us a call on 0800 Web Guy – with the use of AnyDesk for PC or Mac, we can remotely setup your emails.

Depending on which email server you’re setup on, is depending on if you use SSL or TLS. Both servers require SSL for incoming, Exchange server requires SSL for outgoing, Sentora server requires TLS. If you’re not sure what server you’re on or if you’ve forgotten your password, get in touch with us

Why would I want email/calendar/contacts on my computer/mobile?

There are several advantages to having everything synced – below are most common examples.

Instant syncing of email, calendar and contacts – read an email on your mobile, it’s marked as read in your Outlook – no cables required

Jenny is Sam’s PA – Jenny enters something into Sam’s calendar, it’s synced to Sam’s Outlook and mobile within seconds

Meeting room calendar – Jenny and John will never double up appointments again – shared calendars can also be added to your smartphone, allowing you to create appointments straight from your mobile

Replacing your mobile? simply set your account up on your new phone, and all your calendar appointments, contacts and emails are synced.

Note: Over the air sync for your mobile does require mobile data or WiFi- how much data you use will depend on your email load and device. We can say, Tracy the office manager has 2 exchange accounts loaded with medium email flow and has 500mb data plan on her Samsung Galaxy S8 (Android). Exchange Sync uses around 50mb per month.

If you have any queries about Exchange sync, give us a call on 0800 Web Guy or flick us an email here

Do you provide an SMTP server?

Yes, we do, the SMTP server address is mail.dynamite.net.nz If you’ve setup your email using SSL, then the outgoing port is 465, otherwise use 25 (however, if your ISP blocks port 25 (eg Xtra) then use port 366).
