OIV Mail Account – Basic Concepts Before proceeding to setup your OIV Outlook Plug-In to view or redeem stamped mail, it is important to become familiar with concepts of OIV Mail account and how it relates to your email address. Your OIV Mail account is associated with your email address. If you use multiple email addresses with OIVMail, you have an account for each. Example: You received and redeemed a Stamped Mail at your email address John892135@yahoo.com. Then the OIV Mail system has created an account with ID, John892135@yahoo.com”. From now onwards when you open a Stamped Mail addressed to “ John892135@yahoo.com”, the stamp will be redeemed into that account. OIV Outlook Plug-In also records this account in its data on your PC. If you have not yet activated this OIV Mail account, all you can do is redeem received stamps. If you want to know the balance in this account you can select “wallet” from OivMail menu or click the “Wallet” button on the toolbar. In order for you to send permission Stamped Mail or to convert OIV Stamp credit in to cash, OIV Mail System must verify that you are the owner of the email address. This verification happens when you register with OIV Mail system by either selecting “Register” item from the File menu of OIV Mailer or by visiting the Register page on OIV Mail web site. During registration process, you specify, your name, address and choose your password. Please note that this password is your OIV Mail password and is not related to the password for your mail server. OIV Mail System will then send an email to the address that you are registering. This email contains a verification link which you click. When you click the link the OIV System informs you that you have successfully activated your OIV Mail account. In order for you to transfer credit and send value Stamped Mail, OIV Mail System must verify your financial connection with your OIV Mail account. You can do this simply by buying a minimum of $10 OIV Stamp credit with your credit card or Pay Pal account. You need to buy this credit just once. This credit is added to the credit you have received by redeeming stamps. After you become eligible to send value Stamped Mail, you can log into OIV Mail System on the OIV Mail website and send value Stamped Mail .
