Setting e-mail accounts

Use Account Settings to add and manage your accounts. You can add the e-mail accounts which are used for either both outgoing and incoming messages, or outgoing messages only. Set the account you usually use as a default account.

To add a new account:

1. Click Account Settings in the sub-window.

2. Click Add New Account.

You will now see the account entry screen.

• Account Name:

Type a name of the account.

• Receive Mail:

Choose either to receive messages by the use of  this account, or not.

• Name:

Type the name which appears in the "from" field of outgoing messages.

• E-mail Address:

Type your e-mail address.

The name and e-mail address you entered will appear in the "from" field as a sender of outgoing e-mail messages, in the form of "Name<e-mail address>".

• Incoming Server (POP3):

Specify a POP3 server name and port No.

Note:

POP3 is a protocol to receive e-mail messages from a mail server and WebMail supports only POP3.

• Outgoing Server (SMTP):

Specify a SMTP server name and port No.

• User ID/Password:

Be sure to enter them when you add an account for incoming e-mail because you need them to receive e-mail messages.

• Authentication:

If the incoming server (POP3) is not set to use specific authentication, select Standard. If you select APOP, you will log on the incoming server with the security protection.  

• Server Timeout:

This is to set how many seconds you wait for until it gives up logging on the incoming server (POP3) after repeating failure.

• Color for New Message:

Select a color to mark newly received messages.

• Receive to Folder:

Select a folder to store incoming e-mail messages.  

• Other Settings:

If you check Leave messages on POP3 server, incoming messages will not be deleted from the server and left. Choose this if you want to receive e-mail messages from the same account with another mail client.
