Hi.  First of all, thanks to all those who have made this system from the software coders to those providing servers.  I came across it whilst thinking about an email and tracking system for a couple of Yachting trips I will be doing in the next few years.  I now have a station setup at home using the , and have mannaged to to ping and connect to IS0GRB - 3 but am now coming across a few problems.  I have tried reading all of the wiki and help but just confused myself further.  Sorry if they may be obvious questions but I am new to this and Linux.

Firstly, for someone to send me an email, I must have an email address which must hosted at a server so that it may be forwarded over HF to my callsign.  I assume that I must register somewhere to get this email address linked to my callsign.  How do I do this?  Is this related to the Mail Options (Pop hHost, POP user etc) setup?  This brings me to my next problem in that I do not know what is required for these fields. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.
