SOLUTIONS MADE EASY
Windows Mail tutorial shows how to setup Windows Mail to retrieve email from your accounts.
Open Windows Mail and choose "Tools" from the menu bar.
Choose "Accounts" and click on the mail tab when the "Internet Accounts" manager window appears.
Click on the "Add" button and then on "Mail"
First, it will ask for a display name.
This is the name that people will see on the "From" line when they receive your mail. It's normally best to use your company name or personal name.Next, the wizard asks for your email address.
Next you are asked for your server information. Your incoming mail server is a POP3 and its name is mail.yourdomain.co.za (outgoing is the same, or you can use your internet connection's outgoing server eg. smtp.saix.net for ADSL connections in South Africa)
Next is your account name, use the full email address. Then enter your password.
Click on "Finish" and then on "Close".
To retrieve your mail, in the Windows Mail window, choose "Send and Receive" (top menubar)
Note: If you have difficulty sending emails, you may need to use a different Outgoing Server. This page explains how to quickly and easily configure your outgoing server.
