New and improved Connect Mail
We’d like to thank you DONet & DataYard mail users alike. We’ve spent the last several months bringing you a whole new revamped Connect Mail experience. These upgrades will not require any of our customers to make any changes to their mail clients.
One of the biggest changes you will notice right away is that we’ve changed our webmail platform. We’ve integrated many of our previously separated services into one single pane of glass. Within the new webmail, you will now be able to set forwarders, auto responders, and even create filters to filter your mail. We feel this new experience will be much more user intuitive and stream lined.
When you login to the new webmail, you should see all of your mail, folders and settings. This includes all of your signatures, identities, contacts and contact groups.
The new settings will have some similar features you should be accustomed to using, but you will also notice some new links. On the left hand side you will notice a mobile sync tab which can be used to now synchronize your webmail/mail calendar to your phone, along with all of your contacts.
You will also notice these three tabs next to your folder structure. These are the new locations for you to forward your mail, setup auto responders, and filter incoming messages. No longer will you need to use your my.donet.com to make these changes.
Let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to chat: 1.800.982.4539 or support@datayard.us. Remember to follow us on Twitter (@datayardtechops & @datayard)!

How can I connect to my DataYard VPN tunnel?
How can I connect to my DataYard VPN tunnel?
If you have services provided to you by DataYard that allow you connect via VPN, this walk through will take you through the setup of your VPN client.
We recommend Shewsoft VPN Access Manager, which can be downloaded from their website: https://www.shrew.net/download/vpn.
Once you have downloaded the client, you will first need to import the .pcf or .vpn file provided to you.
You will do this by going to File, Import and then browse your computer for the file.
Once you have the file imported, you should see it in your main screen.
Now just click the file and choose ‘connect’
You should now be prompted for your username and password, this was provided to you by DataYard Staff.
