  )

• Click Next ->
• E-mail username: your_email_account@your_website_domain_here.com – all lowercase – (ie. john@company.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

• You should now end up at the Internet Accounts screen; double-click on your e-mail account.
• At the top of the Properties window that appears, click on the Advanced tab and verify that “This server requires a secure connection” is checked and the SMTP port number is 587.
• Now click on the IMAP tab and, in the Root folder path: blank, enter mail/. Also uncheck the box for Check for new messages in all folders.
• Click Ok to save all of these settings, then Close to exit the Internet Accounts window. Windows Mail will now ask you if you would like to retrieve your mail.
