Changing or updating email account on Jaamun

Hi

When you sign up for Jaamun service an account is created for you on Jaamun. The user name for this account is the mobile number & the password for Jaamun account is created by you at the time of signing up.

Now if you wish to change the email account that is mapped to the service or update the password or set email filters based on time or set email filters based on subject keywords and email IDs, you can simply login to your Jaamun account & make necessary changes. The account also gives you the link to pricing page from where you can renew your subscription. To check out the login page, click here.

In addition, the account page also tells you the time & date on which you received your last email via Jaamun & the number of email credits (which will appear as 'UNLIMITED' for all paid users)

Once you log-in to your Jaamun account, you can change the email account mapped to your mobile or change/update the email account password. To access this feature, click on 'Change Email Account Settings'

On your screen you will see the email ID that you had used at the time of signing up, along with the email account provider (gmail, hotmail, etc.) in the drop down list. The space for 'email password' which will be empty.

Now, what you can do here is change the email ID to any other ID of your choice. Please note that you need to enter the complete email ID in case of yahoo accounts and also select the email account provider from the drop down list (this was discussed in the previous post). Next, enter the correct email password & press 'Submit'. If the password is incorrect, a message will appear on the top of the screen, informing you about the same.

In case you wanted to change/update the email account, simply enter the new password & press 'Submit'.

Take a look at the image below to see how the Email account change/update screen would look.

Configuring IMAP or POP3 on your email account

Hi

In the previous post, I had discussed how IMAP/POP protocols are essential to Jaamun service. The obvious limitation imposed by this is that some email accounts wont be supported on Jaamun.

Gmail accounts on Jaamun
By default Gmail accounts are IMAP or POP3 enabled. To check these settings please follow our slideshare tutorial over here

Yahoo accounts on Jaamun
Yahoo IDs such as 'yahoo.co.in', 'yahoo.in', 'yahoo.co.uk' & even some 'yahoo.com' provide POP3 support. Other yahoo accounts such as 'ymail.com', 'rocketmail.com' etc may or may not provide POP3. Now, this POP service is not always pre-activated which means that if you wish to use Jaamun service or for that matter if you want to configure your email account on Microsoft Outlook, you might need to manually activate POP3. This has been discussed in our slideshare tutorial over here.

Nevertheless, the process of configuring POP is simple & is described here
1. Go to 'Options' (on the right hand side, top corner of your email account screen)
2. Select 'Mail Options'
3. On the left hand panel you will see 'POP & Forwarding'. Click on this link.
4. Click on 'Set up or Edit POP & Forwarding'. If your account does not support POP, you will see a message to this effect on your screen.
5. Check/Enable 'Web & POP Access'
6. Click on 'Save'

Hotmail or Live accounts on Jaamun
All hotmail accounts support IMAP. However, accounts provided by hotmail may either end in 'hotmail.com' or 'live.com'.

In case of yahoo accounts it is essential to mention the domain name (yahoo.in or yahoo.com or yahoo.co.uk) apart form selecting yahoo from the drop down list on our registration page. For instance, please take a look at the image below.


I hope this explains the IMAP/POP3 configuration part. If this post doesn't help, feel free to write to me on support@jaamun.in. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Cheers

Gmail requesting it's users to change password

Hi

We have recently heard from a few Jaamun users that Gmail is requesting them to change their account password after they sign up on Jaamun. Changing password, of course, causes Jaamun service to stop for that particular mobile.

Apparently not all people have faced this problem.

In any case, we have requested a clarification from Google on this issue. We shall update you guys as soon as we get more information.

Meanwhile, if your service has stopped because of this issue, you can resume service by updating password on Jaamun website. For this,

1. Log in to your Jaamun account by clicking here

2. Go to ‘General settings’

3. Update your email password

As has always been our endeavor, we have also made this 'Update' feature available on SMS. To resume service, you can also SMS

p SPACE (new password) to 9773467755

from the mobile number you had signed up with.

Cheers!
