This free of cost electronic mail tutorial displays you the right way to setup a POP3 or IMAP email account in Windows Stay Mail. POP3 and IMAP are a lot of the most typical e-mail account types readily available, just about normally all those provided by your web site hosting or e-mail hosting firm. Most companies not utilising Microsoft Exchange as email server could be by using POP3 or IMAP for their workers e mail account. Windows Reside Mail assist equally perfectly these two technologies.
To setup Hotmail (a particular variety of email account), please see our Hotmail in Windows Stay Mail tutorial…
Setting up an e-mail account in Windows Dwell Mail
The first time you open Windows Dwell Mail after installation, the new e mail account setup wizard should open automatically, ready to collect and test your email account information.
Windows Reside 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 no cost 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 email account.
With the second field ("Password"), Windows Stay Mail requests your e mail account's password to be able to connect to your mail server. Windows Stay 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 e-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 from the e mail address that comes before the "@" character).
The "Manually configure server settings for e-mail account" checkbox is unchecked by default, and Windows Live Mail will attempt to configure your email account automatically. It is worth letting Windows Dwell 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 Stay Mail was unable to automatically detect them, you will undoubtedly be presented with a second screen to collect your mail server information and authentication method:
Incoming Server Information
The top portion of Windows Dwell 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 electronic mail account is POP3 or IMAP (these are e mail protocol names). Most electronic mail providers use POP3,
Office 2007 Enterprise, 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 e mail client (Windows Stay Mail or another e-mail program) will see the same folder structure and emails everywhere. With a POP3 email account, your electronic mail folders are created and managed on your computer, by your electronic mail application.
Since it probably the most well-known protocol, this tutorial exhibits you methods to setup a POP3 e-mail account (IMAP is setup in very much the same way, simply choose "IMAP" instead of "POP3" - Windows Reside 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,
Office 2007 Keygen, where "emailProvider" is the domain name; if you are using the mail service from your web hosting small business, this should be the domain name for which you purchased hosting. By default,
Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key, the "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" checkbox is unchecked; the majority of e mail providers either does not require SSL (Secure Socket Layers, to encrypt data), or does not support it; leave it unchecked unless you have clear instructions to the contrary.
Windows Stay Mail will automatically choose the proper TCP ports for your email 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 electronic mail account, note that some email 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 electronic mail address or the "user name" (the part for the electronic mail 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 Stay Mail will automatically try this by default.
Outgoing Server Information
Under the bottom section from the email account setup screen, "Outgoing Server Authentication", Windows Reside Mail collects information needed to send emails through your mail server:
Most of the time, the outgoing server would 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, and outgoing authentication is increasingly becoming the method of choice to prevent a mail server from being used to relay spam. Without outgoing authentication,

Finalize your new e-mail account setup in Windows Dwell Mail
Click the Next button: Windows Live Mail should display a successful electronic mail account setup message.
After that, it will start downloading your emails from the mail server. You will see appear in the left pane your new electronic mail 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 e mail account in Windows Reside Mail.
