Step 1:

Click on "Tools" then click "Accounts"

Step 2:

Select the "Mail" tab then click the "Add" button and click "Mail" from the menu that pops up.

Step 3:

In the "Display name" field fill in a name you would like recipients to see when your mail arrives. If this is a personal account you can fill in your name. If this is a general account such as a support department you could fill in something like "Diversia Help Desk". This is my personal account so I have filled in my name. Then click "Next".

Step 4:

Enter the email address for this account in the "E-mail address" field and click next.

Step 5:

Select "POP3" next to "My incoming mail server is a" (Default).  In each of the "Incoming" and "Outgoing" fields fill in your mail server name. The format is always "mail.yourdomain.ca" or .com or .net or whatever your domain suffix is and click "Next".

Step 6:

Fill in your entire E-mail address (very important) in the "Account name:" field then fill in your password in the "Password:" field. Check the box next to "Remember password" and click next.

Step 7:

Click finish to save your account, but we're not quite done yet...

Step 8:

The "Internet Accounts" window remains visible, click on your new account and then click the "Properties" button on the right side.

Step 9:

Select the "Servers" tab and check the box next to "My server requires authentication" then click on "Apply".

Step 10:

Click on the "Advanced" tab and change the value in the field next to "Outgoing mail (SMTP):" from 25 to 8080. This will allow you to use your mail server for outgoing messages even if your ISP blocks port 25 (this is becoming more popular amongst ISPs).

Step 11:

Click close and your account is now ready to send and receive messages. Send me a test message and I'll reply to ensure your new account is working properly.
