    68Before you can set up your email client to work with May First, you need to know which server you are on. If you aren't sure, log in to the [https://members.mayfirst.org/cp member center], where you'll see a line near the top of the page that says:

    8 Your primary host is: chavez.mayfirst.org or viewsic.mayfirst.org or malcolm.mayfirst.org
     10 Your primary host is: chavez.mayfirst.org or viewsic.mayfirst.org or malcolm.mayfirst.org

    1012Note your primary host name, and you'll be ready to go.

    1824All email clients need your settings for incoming mail and for outgoing mail. Your incoming mail will be either POP or IMAP.
