This first time you start MailForge, after agreeing to the License Agreement (and choosing an interface style if running Mac OS X), you will be presented with the Account Setup Screen. The following steps will ensure a smooth setup...
Checking Mail...
1. Enter an Account Name by which you would like to refer to this account. This is only for your reference purposes. For example, you might refer to it as Home, Work, etc.
2. The next field is your username. This is usually your email address, or the first part of it prior to the "@" symbol.
3. Enter your Mail Server. You will need to check with your ISP or hosting company to determine what this should be. Usually it is "pop.yourdomain.com," "imap.yourdomain.com," or "mail.domain.com."
4. Select the type of server this is, POP3 or IMAP.
5. Enter the password for this account. All settings are encrypted with 256 bit encryption to ensure the integrity of your personal information.
Sending Mail...
1. Enter your Real Name. This is what will show up when you send an email via MailForge.
2. Enter your SMTP server that will be used to relay the email. If you are unsure of what this is, check with your ISP, hosting company, or check the settings of your existing email account.
3. SMTP authorization is commonly used by ISPs to prevent unauthorized emails from being transmitted.
4. Finally, enter your full email address.
You're done! The basic settings for MailForge have now been implemented.
