We have recently been receiving many questions on how to setup mobile phones for Karoo email. Here are the basic settings needed in order to do this:

• Mail Server Type: POP3
• Incoming Mail Server: pop.karoo.co.uk
• Username: Your Karoo mailbox name e.g. nodename@nodename.karoo.co.uk
• Password: Your Karoo mailbox password
• Sending Mail Server: As defined by your mobile operator e.g. on Orange this will be smtp.orange.net, while on O2 it will be smtp.o2.co.uk

Note: smtp.karoo.co.uk will ONLY accept connections from a Karoo IP address, so if your mobile is connected via 3G or GPRS, smtp.karoo.co.uk will refuse to send email.

The KUG website now has a new look/feel - We hope you like it!

KC recently updated their Karoo Broadband product line to increase the monthly usage allowance on existing services, whilst at the same time introducing three new services, each with a different monthly usage allowance and corresponding price.

If you would like to read more about current events etc in the Karoo world, you might like to take a look at the official Facebook and Twitter pages provided by KC, or the unofficial Karoo Forums provided by a third-party.
