Setting up an email account in Windows Dwell Mail
The first time you open Windows Reside Mail after installation, the new email account setup wizard should open automatically
Office 2010 Serial, ready to collect and test your e mail account information.
Windows Live Mail only requires three fields of information to try to automatically setup an e-mail account for you:
Enter your e-mail account information
Enter your full email address in the first field ("E-mail address"). The "Get a free e-mail account" link Windows Dwell Mail displays allows you to obtain a Hotmail account; you can ignore it if you are trying to setup a standard POP3 or IMAP e mail account.
With the second field ("Password")
microsoft Office 2010 Serial, Windows Stay Mail requests your email account's password to be able to connect to your mail server. Windows Live Mail will by default remember your e-mail account password; you can opt to supply it every time by unchecking the "Remember password" checkbox.
The last field, "Display Name", determines what Windows Stay Mail will show as sender's name to people you electronic mail from it. The display name can be your real name or not: it does not have to match your electronic mail address or its user name (the portion in the email address that comes before the "@" character).
The "Manually configure server settings for e-mail account" checkbox is unchecked by default, and Windows Dwell Mail will attempt to configure your electronic mail account automatically. It is worth letting Windows Reside Mail give it a try, it could save you a couple minutes.
Click the Next button.
Configure your e-mail account settings in Windows Live Mail
If you chose to manually configure your server settings, or if Windows Reside Mail was unable to automatically detect them, you will likely be presented with a second screen to collect your mail server information and authentication method:
Incoming Server Information
The top portion of Windows Reside Mail's e-mail account setup screen, "Incoming Server Information", collects the information needed to receive emails from your mail server.
Start by choosing whether your email account is POP3 or IMAP (these are email protocol names). Most e mail providers use POP3, many of them offer both POP3 and IMAP.
The main difference between POP3 and IMAP is that IMAP lets you create e-mail folders and manage your emails directly on the server. This means that your electronic mail client (Windows Live Mail or another e mail program) will see the same folder structure and emails everywhere. With a POP3 email account, your e-mail folders are created and managed on your computer
Office Home And Business, by your electronic mail application.
Since it essentially the most frequent protocol, this tutorial demonstrates you tips on how to setup a POP3 e-mail account (IMAP is setup in very much the same way, simply choose "IMAP" instead of "POP3" - Windows Dwell Mail will automatically configure the proper port information for you).
Mail server and authentication
In most cases, your incoming mail server's address is mail.emailProvider.com, where "emailProvider" is the domain name; if you are utilizing the mail service from your web hosting organization, this should be the domain name for which you purchased hosting. By default, the "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" checkbox is unchecked; the majority of email providers either does not require SSL (Secure Socket Layers, to encrypt data), or does not help it; leave it unchecked unless you have clear instructions to the contrary.
Windows Stay Mail will automatically choose the proper TCP ports for your electronic mail account: outgoing port 110 for POP3 or outgoing port 143 for IMAP. (If SSL is enabled, these ports become 995 and 993, respectively). If you have trouble setting up your e-mail account, note that some electronic mail providers choose to use non-standard ports to diminish the likelihood of seeing their mail server used as spam relay.
By default too, e-mail providers will mostly use "Clear text authentication", as opposed to "Secure password authentication", where data exchanged between your email program and the mail server is encrypted.
Depending on your mail provider, the Login ID is either your full e-mail address or the "user name" (the part of your email address that comes before the "@"). It is rarely something else. If your user name is your full e mail address, you do not need to enter it: Windows Reside Mail will automatically try this by default.
Outgoing Server Information
Under the bottom section in the email account setup screen, "Outgoing Server Authentication", Windows Dwell Mail collects information needed to send emails through your mail server:
Most from the time, the outgoing server is going to be the same address as the incoming server. Port 25 is the typical port used for SMTP (the protocol used to transport emails).
By default, the "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" and "My outgoing server requires authentication" checkboxes are unchecked. Only check them if you know that either is required. SSL encrypts your logon information
Office 2007 Standard, and outgoing authentication is increasingly becoming the method of choice to prevent a mail server from being used to relay spam. Without outgoing authentication, you can logon to any server and send emails through it, even if you do not have an account.
Finalize your new e-mail account setup in Windows Dwell Mail
Click the Next button: Windows Dwell Mail should display a successful e-mail account setup message.
After that
Office 2007 Activation, it will start downloading your emails from the mail server. You will see appear in the left pane your new email account and its default folders. If you setup an IMAP account, you will also see all the folders you created on the server through a webmail service or another e-mail client.
That it! You have finished setting up your new electronic mail account in Windows Dwell Mail.
