Creating e-mail accounts

Only users with manage permissions for the e-mail module can create e-mail accounts. If you don't have manage permissions then you can only edit your e-mail address, sender name and signature by clicking 'Edit account' if you have one preconfigured.
To setup a new acount you need some information from your e-mail service provider. You need the following values:

1. Your e-mail address
2. The hostname of the incoming mail server
3. Server type (POP-3 or IMAP)
4. The service port
5. Your username and password
6. In case of an IMAP server you need to know what the root mailbox is. In case you don't know this value leave it empty. If you are having troubles with creating folders then you can try to enter 'INBOX' or 'mail' here.

With this information you can create an account easily. Click at the 'Accounts' button to view your accounts. Click at the 'Add' button to open the 'New account' screen. Fill in your sender name. This name will be displayed to receivers of your e-mail messages. After that fill in your valid e-mail address that should be associated with this account. At last fill in the other values you got from your e-mail service provider. If you get a 'certificate-failure' error then tick the 'Don't validate certificate' option.
