We have instructions for setting up your SEV email for both AMBT and Buckeye users.

If you are converting from Buckeye to AMBT, you will need to change your outgoing mail server settings. If you have AMBT's DSL or dial-up service, your outgoing mail must be sent through their mail server. This also holds true if you have Buckeye's cable modem or dialup. Most ISP are now set up this way in an attempt to reduce spam sent through their networks. Complete instructions are furnished below.

We have included settings and some screen shots for Microsoft Outlook Express, Office Outlook, Entourage, Eudora and MacMail. We are working on Entourage and Eudora. If any members would like to send these screenshots and settings for other email programs to assist other members, it would be greatly appreciated.
