IncrediMail XE New Email Account Setup Guide

Step 1:
It's fairly easy to setup IncrediMail XE to check your mail accounts. You will need to get the email settings from the Welcome Email that was sent to you when you activated your web site account.

If you already have IncrediMail installed, begin by opening IncrediMail. If you do not have a shortcut on your desktop to IncrediMail,

Click the Start menu on your computer and look for IncrediMail in your programs.

Click on the Tools menu at the top (See Figure 1).

Click on the Accounts option (See Figure 1).

Step 2:
The Mail Accounts window will open. (See Figure 2 below.)
You will see a list all of the email accounts that are setup in IncrediMail. You can use IncrediMail to check as many different email accounts as you want.

Click on the email address that you want to be the default account.

Click the Set as Default button and IncrediMail will send all messages from that account unless you choose a different one.

Click the Add button in the top right corner.

Step 3:

Click the Next button in the bottom right corner.

Step 4:
The Name and Email Address Wizard window will open. (See Figure 4 below.)

Enter your name in the Your name is: textbox.
This can be your real name or a nickname. It is what people will see in the From: area when they receive a message from you.

Enter your complete email address in the Your email address: textbox. Be careful to not have any extra spaces in the email address.

Click the Next button when finished.

Step 5:
The Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers Wizard window will open. (See Figure 5 below.)

Your incoming and outgoing mail servers' name are the same as your domain name and IP address. DO NOT enter the www. or mail. in front of your domain name.

Let's assume your domain name is www.johnbrown.com and the IP address is 216.40.233.198.

Enter johnbrown.com in the Incoming mail server: textbox.

Enter johnbrown.com in the Outgoing mail server: textbox.

Click the Next button when finished.

If you encounter problems while trying to send or receive email you can substitute your IP address for your domain name. An example is given below.

Enter 216.40.233.198 in the Incoming mail server: textbox.

Enter 216.40.233.198 in the Outgoing mail server: textbox.

Click the Next button when finished.

Step 6:
The Username and Password Wizard window will open. (See Figure 6 below.)

Settings For Name-Based Web Sites (Most Common)
If you do not have a Name-Based web site Click Here.

Your Username is your complete email address. Your Password is cASe SeNSitIvE. You must enter it exactly like you did when you created the account. If you have forgotten your password, login to your web site Control Panel and enter a new password for the email account.

Example: Assume your email address is webmaster@johnbrown.com and your password is 123456

Enter webmaster@johnbrown.com in the Username: textbox.

Enter 123456 in the Password: textbox.

Click the Next button when finished.

Settings For Static IP Address Web Sites
If you do not have a static IP Address Click Here.

Your Username is everything in front of the @ in the email address. Your Password is cASe SeNSitIvE. You must enter it exactly like you did when you created the account. If you have forgotten your password, login to your web site Control Panel and enter a new password for the email account.

Example: Assume your email address is webmaster@johnbrown.com
and your password is 123456

Enter webmaster in the Username: textbox.

Enter 123456 in the Password: textbox.

Click the Next button when finished.

You are not required to enter your Password here. If you are concerned with the privacy of your computer, you can leave the Password textbox empty. However, you will have to enter your Password every time that you check your email.

Note: Use the Identities option to setup your private mail area. IncrediMail will be secure from everyone else. You can safely enable the Remember Password feature, because other users on the computer will not be able to get into your Identity Profile.

Click the Finish button.

Click the OK button.

 

Step 7:
The Mail Accounts window should still be open from earlier steps. If not go back to Step One and open again (See Figure 7 below.)

Click on your email address in the white box to highlight your new account.

Click the Properties button.

Step 8:
The Accounts Properties window will open (See Figure 8 below.)

Click on the Servers tab to see the options below.

Click the checkbox for the last option, My server requires authentication, near the bottom. Make certain there is a checkmark in the checkbox.

Click the Settings button to the right of the checkbox.

Final Step:
The Account Mail Server window will open (See Figure 9 below.)

Click in the little white circle next to Log on using:.
This will place a little black dot in the white circle. The textboxes below it will brighten up.

Enter your Username in the Username: textbox.

Enter your Password in the Password: textbox.

IMPORTANT:
DO NOT put a checkmark in Log on using Secure Password Authentication box. This will prevent you from sending and receiving email.

Click on the OK button when finished.
