Email Account Wizard

When you open the email module for the first time a wizard for creating a Pimero email account will start.

If you want to create an other account, click on "Manage accounts" and the on "Add".

The wizard contains four steps.

Step 1: Account information

Type in a name for your account for example "private" or "mail.com". This is only to manage your accounts.

As Sender name type in your name so recipients of your emails will know they are from you. Finally type in your

email address.

Step 2: Inbox settings (Pop3 / Imap)

First you have to decide whether you account is a Pop3 account or an Imap account.If you choose Imap the option

"Leave messages on server" will be hidden.

Specify the server name of your mailserver. If you don't know the server name, please contact the provider of your mail account.

The user name depends of your provider. Usually it's your email address our your customer number. If you are unsure, please

contact your provider.

Type in your password. Usually you can leave the port at it's default value.

If you want Pimero to download just a copy of your mails, check the option "Leave messages on server". Otherwise your mails

will be deleted once the have been downloaded.

Step 3: Outbox settings (Smtp)

As for the inbox settings be sure to contact your provider if you are unsure due to the server name and authentification.

Type in the server name of your mail server. Most mail servers require authentification so check the option

"Needs authetification" and type in user name and password if necessary.

Step 4: Signature

This step is optionally. You can create a personal signature that will be automatically attached to your email text. For your signature

you can use simple formatting like font size or color. You can also insert a picture into your signature, for example the logo of your company.

Hint: This will only work if you send your emails in the HTML format. For more information please read the chapters

"Account settings" and Creating emails".

Furthermore you can decide when to attach your signature: to new mails, to forwarded mails and to replies.

Click on next and the on finish to complete the wizard.

All settings can be changed later by managing your accounts.
