Mo-Bros Unite

Wednesday 30th November 2011

At York Studios we're all about doing something a little different for charity and November, or should that be Movember, was no exception.

On the 30th November, to help raise awareness and money for The Prostate Cancer Charity, we had an open photo shoot for everyone in the York area who had taken part in the Movember Campaign. We gave everyone the chance to have their 'Mo' professionally photographed. Not to exclude anyone we also brought in some fake moustaches so women and children could get involved in the fun as well. The event raised over £150 with over 30 participants taking part from across the Yorkshire region. We're already making plans to run the event again next year even bigger and better!

Prostate cancer claims the lives of over 10,000 UK men every year. Through awareness and continued research we can help reduce that figure considerably. This year saw 854,546 Movember participants worldwide, raising nearly £73 million for the charity and generating valuable awareness for this form of cancer.

Love is in the air

Saturday 13th August 2011

If you ever needed proof that romance ISN'T dead then here it is.

Over 5 months in the planning with our photographer (Sam Whitton) Lee Hanson popped the question to his girlfriend Amy Lawn. Nothing unusual there I hear you cry, however, the proposal happened at our York photographic studio and the moment was captured on camera so the memory of that special moment will last forever!

Not without its difficulties; Amy, apparently, was always expecting Lee to propose but Lee wanted it to be a complete surprise and so came up with a truly unique solution to catch Amy unaware. Before popping the question on the 13th August 2011 Lee and Sam planned everything in precise detail. From how they would get Amy to close her eyes for the big surprise through to how Lee would position himself with the ring to enable Sam to get the best possible angle to capture Amy's reaction.

The results speak for themselves and we'd like to wish Lee and Amy all the happiness for the future and thank them for letting us be part of a very personal and special moment in their lives.

If you would like more information and high resolution press images please contact
Sam Whitton through our Contact Form or call 0845 345 1800.




Accessing Your Email Through Webmail

You are able to access your email through a web browser by visiting the following login page:

http://webmail.beyondcolour.net


Exchange Users
Exchange users can access their Outlook webmail interface here:

https://cluster1.exchange.outitgoes.com/owa/

Forgotten Email Username and/or Password

Your username is your full email address e.g. [your name]@[your domain].com

If you have lost or forgotten your password we are NOT able to resupply it. We have to reset it for you and give you a new one. To request a new password please call our support team on 0845 345 1800 or use our Contact Form.

Email Server Configuration Details

Our email servers need to be configured in your email software as follows:

Incoming (POP3) Server: pop3.beyondcolour.com
Outgoing (SMTP) Server: smtp.beyondcolour.com

Note:
You will need to check the box for 'My Outgoing Server Requires Authentication' to enable you to send email. This is usually under the 'Advanced' or 'More Settings...' window and may look something like this (depending on which email client you choose to use, the screenshot below is from Microsoft Outlook 2007):

Outgoing server authentication

Email SMTP Send Problems On Public Wifi Networks

Many public wifi networks, such as those found in coffee shops and hotels, can be restrictive when it comes to allowing outgoing SMTP email connections. The common symptoms of this is that your inbound POP3 email will be working just fine, yet it displays an error when tying to send an email.

These sorts of public networks tend to capture and block the network traffic to unknown mail servers simply by blocking Port 25.

We therefore allow SMTP traffic onto our network on an additional port which is Port 366. If you experience this problem simply update the SMTP port on your mail client software, an example of where to update this port on Outlook 2007 is shown below:

SMTP Port Hopping

On an iPad you need to do the following:

1) Enter Setup
2) Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" from the Settings items in the left column
3) Select your Mail account, located top-right in the right pane under the heading "Accounts"
4) In the pop-up window that appears, select the "SMTP    smtp.beyondcolour.com >" option
5) In the next window select the "smtp.beyondcolour.com    On >" option
5) Within this new pane ensure the "Use SSL" is switched OFF and change the "Server Port" option to "366" as shown below:

SMTP Port Hopping On iPad

Synchronizing Your Email Inbox Across Multiple Devices e.g. Desktop, iPad, etc

Many of our customers use their email accounts across multiple devices e.g. desktop computer, smart phone, tablet device, etc. However, the default behaviour for any email client is to automatically delete the emails from the server as soon as that device has collected the email.

To help synchronize your inbox's across multiple devices you can set a preference in your email client software to leave the email on the server for a set period of time. This enables all your devices time to check and download a copy of the email locally before being removed.

To enable your emails to remain on the server (for a given period of time AND NOT INDEFINITELY!), simply check the box for 'Leave a copy of messages on the server' AND check the box for 'Remove from server after 10 days'. An example of where to update this in Outlook 2007 is shown below:

Leave Email On Server

On an iPad you need to do the following:

1) Enter Setup
2) Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" from the Settings items in the left column
3) Select your Mail account, located top-right in the right pane under the heading "Accounts"
4) In the pop-up window that appears, select the "Advanced >" option
5) Within this new pane ensure the "Use SSL" is switched OFF and change the "Delete from server" option to "Seven days" as shown below:

Leave Email On Server 7 Days On iPad

Note:
We DO NOT support hosting your email on our server indefinitely and are not responsible for any loss of email at any time. Please ensure that it is removed after 10-days maximum. For Enterprise class email services which can cater for hosting your email for prolonged periods of time and sharing calendars between multiple team members, please contact us for a seperate discussion on this level of support and the systems required to provide this level of functionality.

How Can I Set An Out Of Office Email Autoresponder

You are able to configure an out of office autoresponder (very useful if you are going to be away from the office for an extended period e.g. holiday) by logging into our webmail interface which can be found online here:

http://mail.beyondcolour.com/webmail

Once you are logged in follow these instructions:

1) Select Tools -> Options
2) Select the Mail tab -> Autoresponder tab

How to configure your email autoresponder

3) We recommend you set the Mode option to 'Respond Once' so that anyone emailing you only gets a single message reply
4) Enter your From name as your usual name
5) Enter your preferred Subject description
6) Enter a suitable Text message which will get sent back to the person who has emailed you
7) We suggest you check the box for 'Respond to messages sent to user's email address only' just to be on the safe side, in case you get copies of other peoples email, etc. Only people who have sent you an email direct will get the automatic reply
8) If necessary you can enter the dates you want the autoresponder to be active by clicking the '...' buttons next to the 'Respond only if between:' boxes and selecting a suitable start and end date
9) Press the 'OK' button to save your Email Autoresponder

Accessing Your Email Marketing Statistics

You can login to your email marketing statistics by visiting the following login page and using the username and password we have already supplied to you:

http://email.beyondcolour.com

If you have lost or forgotten your password we are NOT able to resupply it. We have to reset it for you and give you a new one. To request a new password please call our support team on 0845 345 1800 or use our Contact Form.

What Is My Public IP Address

If you need to know what your public IP address is, here it is:

3.22.51.241

Knowing your public IP address can be useful usually for configuring security settings on Internet Firewalls. In many cases you need to ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for a Static IP Address which may cost you a few pounds more per month. A static IP address ensures that your IP address NEVER changes each time your router reconnects to your Internet service providers network. This enables Firewalls to be configured with this single address that doesn't change.

Accessing Our Remote Support System

Our remote support system enables us to take control of your computer to help demonstrate or troubleshoot your technical issues whilst you watch. This is all achieved through your Internet web browser. The support software uses Java which is a widely used plugin available as an additional install into all modern web browsers. If you haven't heard of Java or installed it, don't worry, by accessing our remote support system for the first time it will check and install this application for you.

So to begin, simply click this link and following the instructions to install Java if necessary:

http://assist.beyondcolour.com

Once you are prompted to enter your name and business name, do so. We can then see your computer in our support queue and will be able to access your computer remotely. Once you are at this stage call our support team on 0845 345 1800 and we can begin a remote support session with you.

For your complete peace of mind, you can terminate the support session at any time.
