Vince and Brad made an appearance on KUTV 2 News this morning with Casey.  A PR gig to help promote the upcoming Utah Addys Awards,  we had a little fun with the other creative agencies in Salt Lake.  This years project was creating ad campaigns to control the negative press surrounding  Tiger Woods, Balloon Boys Dad, and John Gosslin.  Brad was on team Manic Project, and Vince headed up team “Butt crack of dawn”.  If nothing else watch video #3 “Vince Spin Move”. “Oh what an entrance”  Vince refuses to admit it but, he’s not an ambi-turner, he can’t turn left.  

Red Olive Design is a proud supporter of the  American Advertising Federation of Utah , we help out at events, compete in the various competitions, frequent the luncheons, and donate hosting and support for the website www.utahadfed.com

Utah web designer

Josh put his dues in as a web design contractor in 2009 and passed with flying colors, as of  today Josh signed on as a fellow Olive.  Glad to have you on our team and looking forward to actually getting you some of our new business cards made up.

After receiving a Masters Degree in Art, Josh has used his creative abilities in the graphic design field for the past five years.  During that time Josh has worked in everything from T-shirts, to large tradeshow displays.   

Through his print design experiences, Josh has now found a passion in web design.  He is delighted for the opportunity to be working at Red Olive and creating meaningful XHTML markup and beautiful CSS design on a daily basis.

Though undeserving, Josh is fortunate to be partnered with his wife Angelee and two daughters Darby 10 and Klée 8.

Setting Up Email With Droid 2.0

Tag: Tech StuffAric Beagley @ 12:51 pm

We all know that iPhones are for people who just think they need one to be cool, am I right?* Does an iPhone scream “DROID!” at you everytime you get a text though? No, it doesn’t. Therefore a lot of people are making the correct change to the open source and lovable phone, the Motorolla Droid. How hard is it to set up your email though? It’s as easy as saying “DROID!” in a high pitched robotic voice (well maybe a little more difficult).

Step One: Open up the “Mail” application from your menu. (note you can drag this icon to your desktop by tapping the icon and holding it for about 2-3 seconds)

Open The Email Application

Step two: Once the email application is open you will be prompted to enter in your email address and password for the account you are setting up. If you host email through us your username and password were provided to you at some point during the process. Remember that it will always be your FULL email used for any login regarding email. Click next after you have entered in the required info.

Enter In Your Email Address and Password

Step Three: now you need to pick the type of account you are going to set up. For this tutorial I’m going to set up an IMAP which basically mimics your real inbox on your phone (i.e. if you delete a message on your phone it is deleted from your computer as well).

Pick the type of account you wish to set up.

Step 4: After you select IMAP from the choices you will be given a few more fields to fill out. The username / password / and IMAP server fields should be automatically populated, however if you are using Red Olive for your email you will need to change them. Remember your username will ALWAYS be your full email address and the IMAP server will change to mail2.redolive.net (mail1.redolive.net if you are an older client 4 yrs+). The port will be host specific so change it to 993 and the security type to SSL (Accept all certificates) — if you host through Red Olive. Click next and it will check to make sure it can connect successfully! If it does yay! If not make sure you double check your password and all settings.

Set up incoming IMAP server

Step 5: Now we need to set up your outgoing mail settings. The server is the server you used in the previous screen (either mail1.redolive.net or mail2.redolive.net). Make sure you change the port to 465 and the security type to SSL and that “Require sign-in.” is checked. Click next and the Droid will verify these settings as well.

Enter in outgoing settings

That’s all there is to it. After the Droid verifies this info you will be prompted to enter in a few personal settings like the frequency to update, notification, and a nickname for the account. Once those settings are set you’ll be directed to your inbox where you can start enjoying your millions (maybe) of emails!

*note – No I really don’t have anything against the iPhone users out there. We all have fads at some point in our life :0).

P.S. – The droid really is a better phone.
