This guide is aimed at those customers who use Freeola broadband or dial-up services to connect to the internet. If your internet connection is currently served by another provider, you will be required to sign up for our EmailPro service in order to send e-mails via a Freeola server.
Details on this service can be found by visiting http://freeola.com/emailpro/.

While the 'sr number' system will still work for most e-mail accounts, it is no longer required. Any Freeola e-mail address, regardless whether it is using our standard, Email Freedom, or EmailPro service, will use the e-mail address as it's username. If you enter the e-mail address you are looking to set up instead of the sr number, your account will work as normal.
If you are still having issues setting this account up, then I would advise our Support Team at https://secure.freeola.com/support/request/ or by calling 01376 55 60 60 and we should be able to assist you further.
