FAQ - Phase out of POP3 support for FinNet email service (Email Access using Software Client e.g. Outlook Express)

Is there any impact to me?

The phase out of POP3 will only affect the existing FinNet email users using software client for email access (e.g. Outlook Express). There is no impact to other applications. If you are using Internet Explorer or other browser to check email by logging in the FinNet website (www.finnet.hk), there will be no impact to you.

For users using POP3 based email client for FinNet email access (e.g. MS Outlook / Outlook Express / Netscape Mail ), the services will be phased out starting from 3 October 05. By that time, you are not able to use the above email client (e.g. MS Outlook / Outlook Express / Netscape Mail) for email checking.

I am using MS Outlook / Outlook Express / Netscape Mail to check FinNet emails, what should I do so that I can use the web-based email service?

i. Have your FinNet email Login ID & Password ready. A sample of the Login ID will be "ABC123-eCirculars".
ii . Using the PC that is used to check FinNet email (i.e. the PC which is connected to FinNet, NOT Internet).
iii . Open Internet Explorer or other browser, go to website "www.finnet.hk".
iv . On the top-right hand corner of the FinNet home page, enter your Login ID and Password to the relevant field.
v . Click the 'Sign In" icon to login the webmail.
vi . You are now logged-in to the FinNet web-based email.

I still cannot login the webmail following the procedures. How should I do ?

You need to download a digital certificate to your browser. You only need to do this once. Please refer to the following document for a simple procedure.

FinNet CA Installation Guide: http://www.finnet.hk/document/userguide.pdf

Can I use any PC that is connected to the Internet to login FinNet website for email checking?

No. You need to use the dedicated PC that is connected to FinNet (i.e. the PC that is used to check email by Outlook / Outlook Express / Netscape Mail) to login FinNet website for email checking.

I forget the password for my email account, how can I reset it?

The ID and Password used for both POP3 and web based access are the same. In case you forget the password, you can fill in the following Password Reset form and send to FinNet Customer Service by fax @ 2293 5880.

New FinNet Domain Name to be Launched - 'FinNet.hk'

To align with the adoption of ".hk" domain names in SFC, we are pleased to announce that a simpler and easier-to-remember domain "FinNet.hk" will replace the existing one, "FinNet-hk.Net", with effective from 30 JAN 2005. With such change, the email addresses and URLs used within FinNet will be changed as follow:

FinNet Private Website: http://www.FinNet.hk
FinNet Internet Information Website: http://about.FinNet.hk
FinNet Email: 'name'@FinNet.hk or 'name'@subdomain.FinNet.hk
('name' : sender or recipient name)

Any Impact to me?

Both domains, "FinNet-hk.Net" and "FinNet.hk" will be in parallel run until 31 AUG 2005. You can use both domains to browse FinNet websites and send emails to FinNet users. For example, you can send emails to other FinNet participants by using 'recipent_name'@FinNet.hk or 'recipent_name'@FinNet-hk.Net.

*** The new domain is not available to those FinNet participants who are using CCASS/3 connection to access FinNet until further notice. ***

What should I do?

The support of the old domain 'FinNet-hk.Net' will be continued until 31 AUG 2005 to smooth out the transition. You should start updating your personal address book and bookmark in browser if you have any "FinNet-hk.net" entries added.

For further information, please contact FinNet Customer Service by email : "CustService@FinNet.hk" or by calling 2283 6883.

Transmission encryption (SSL) for FRRR submission
With effect from 7 February 2002, transmission encryption using 128-bit SSL is available for submission to ensure confidentiality of data in transit. For permanent connection, effect on performance is minimal. For dial access users, data transmission will take around 50% longer in transmission time. For example, with 33K connection, the submission of FRR using SSL will take about 3 minutes longer.
