+ +

Using the Mail Account Setup + Wizard

+ +

To set up a mail, newsgroup or blogs & news feeds account, first open + the Window menu and choose Mail & Newsgroups. If you haven't + already set up an account, the Account Wizard appears automatically, enabling + you to set up an account.

+ +

The Account Wizard guides you through the process of creating a new account. + If you don't know a setting, click Cancel and ask your Internet service + provider (ISP) or help desk.

+ +

If an account already exists, the Account Wizard doesn't appear + automatically when the Mail window opens. Instead, after opening the Mail + window, open the File menu and choose New, then Account. For more details, + see Setting Up + Additional Mail, News & Blogs & News Feeds Accounts.

+ +

Setting Up Mail + Accounts with an ISP or Email Provider

+ +

Before you set up a mail account, your ISP or email provider should give you + the following information:

+ + + +

To set up a new mail, newsgroup or blogs & news feeds account, begin + from the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the Edit menu and choose Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings. You + see the Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings dialog box.
    2. +
  2. Click Add Account to start the Account Wizard. + +

    The information requested by the Account Wizard depends on the type of + new account you specify in its first window. The boldface headings that + follow correspond to the windows you'll see when you're setting + up an ISP or email provider account.

    +
    3. +
  3. New Account Setup: Choose the type of account you want + to set up, then click the right arrow.
    4. +
  4. Identity: Enter the name and email address appropriate + for this account, then click the right arrow. This window is not available + for the Blogs & News Feeds account type.
    5. +
  5. Server Information: This window is not available for + for the Blogs & News Feeds account type. +
      +
    • Indicate whether you want a POP account or an IMAP account. Not all + service providers can support both options. For more information, see + Mail & + Newsgroups Account Settings - Server Settings.
      • +
    • Enter the name of your incoming mail server.
      • +
    • Check the Leave messages on server checkbox if you want to + leave messages on the server so that when you download messages, + &brandShortName; does not remove the messages from the server.
      • +
    • If you want this account to be a part of the Local Folders Global + Inbox account, check the Use Global Inbox box. Mail for + this account will then be stored in your Local Folders. Otherwise, if + the checkbox is unchecked, mail will be stored in its own + directory.
      • +
    • Enter the name of your outgoing mail server (SMTP). + +

      Note: You need to specify only one outgoing mail + server (SMTP), even if you have several mail accounts. The name of + your SMTP host may not have been + explicitly listed in the account setup information provided to you. + For example, your SMTP host may be the same as your POP or IMAP host. + If in doubt, contact your ISP or system administrator.

      +
      • +
    • Click the right arrow to continue.
      • +
    +
    6. +
  6. User Names: Enter the incoming and outgoing user names + provided by your ISP or email provider, then click the right arrow. This + window is not available for the Blogs & News Feeds account type.
    7. +
  7. Account Name: Enter whatever name you want to use to + refer to this account, then click the right arrow.
    8. +
  8. Congratulations! Verify that the information you entered + is correct. If necessary, verify the information you entered with your ISP + or system administrator. When you are sure that it's correct, click + Finish to set up your account.
    9. +
  9. You see your new account listed in the left side of the Mail & + Newsgroups Account Settings dialog box. Click OK to start using your new + account.
    10. +
+ +

You are now ready to get messages from your account. &brandShortName; Mail + & Newsgroups will prompt you for your password when you retrieve mail for + the first time every session. For detailed instructions on how to retrieve + mail, see Getting + New Messages.

      Important: If you need to change the server type + (for example, from POP to IMAP) you must first remove the existing + account. Next, you must exit &brandShortName; and restart it.

      • +
    • Composition & Addressing: These settings allow + you to choose your default format and quoting behavior when composing a + message.

For more information, see + Synchronization + & Storage Settings (IMAP) or + Synchronization + & Storage Settings (News).
      • +
    • Disk Space (POP and blogs & news feeds accounts + only): This setting helps you manage the amount of disk + space that downloaded messages take up on your hard disk. For more + information, see + Disk + Space Settings (POP) or + Disk + Space Settings (Blogs).
      • +
    • Security: These settings determine which + certificates are used to + digitally sign and encrypt mail messages that you send. Digital + signatures allow you to identify yourself reliably to others in + mail messages that you send. Encryption helps ensure that your + messages remain private while they are in transit over the + Internet. For more information, see + Mail & + Newsgroups Account Settings - Security.
