The following instructions refer to setting up an email account using Incredimail.

We have used test@ballyhoodemo.co.uk as an example in each step but you should substitute the email address or any other details we have supplied you with where appropriate.

Getting Started

Open Incredimail on your computer. Under the Tools menu select Email Accounts.

Mail Accounts

The Mail Accounts window will open. Select Add on the right-hand side of the window.

Account Wizard

The Account Wizard window will now open. Select Let me configure settings myself and click Next.

On the next screen select Other as your email account.

Under Connect To Your Account add your name, the email address you want to connect to and the password for your email account. Click Next.

Incredimail will cleverly look at the details you have already added and preset the incoming mail server type you require. If it does not, you need to set this as POP3.

Next add the Incoming mail server, this will be pop.yourdomainname. The Outgoing mail server will be mail.yourdomainname. Click Next.

Incredimail will then try to connect to your email account and fail. This is because there a few more setting we need to add. Click Skip.

Mail Accounts

Back in the Mail Accounts window, ensure the account you have just created is selected and click Properties on the right.

Mail Account Properties

When this window opens click on the Servers tab. Check all the information in this window is correct and ensure My server requires authentication is ticked.

Now select the Advanced tab. Under Server Port Numbers change the outgoing mail number to 587 and the incoming mail number to 110. Click OK.

You will now have successfully configured your email account to operate through Incredimail. Try sending a few test emails and ask someone to email you to check everything is working as it should be.
