This page explains how to set up IncrediMail to send and receive e-mail for a POP mailbox that you've created.
Before you continue, you should enter your e-mail address (the address you want to set up in IncrediMail) in the box above. Entering your e-mail address makes sure that the instructions below are correct.
The instructions below will explain in detail how to fully configure IncrediMail. This will involve the following steps:
You can use the Start menu to start IncrediMail. When it opens, click Tools, then Accounts from the menu bar:
Click the Add Button:
Select Let me configure settings myself and press Next:
Enter your name. This is the name that other people will see when you send them e-mail. It should be your real name, such as "John Smith" or "Joan of Arc".
Press Next.
IncrediMail will try to do an online search for your server settings. If the search takes more than a few seconds, press the Skip button.
Enter the settings like this:
Press Next.
The "Username" is the same as your e-mail address. The password is your e-mail password.
Press Finish.
Click OK to close the wizard.
While the wizard has collected the basic information needed to receive e-mail, a couple of other changes are needed to make sure that you can send mail. Continue with the steps below to finish setting up IncrediMail.
Select the account you just added, then press Properties:
Click the Servers tab and check the box for "My server requires authentication":
Then press More Settings and make sure the option to "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" is selected:

The Delivery section settings are optional, and you can select the option(s) you would like.
Press OK, then Close to close the Mail Accounts window.
You're finished! Try sending yourself a test e-mail message to make sure it works.
