*PLEASE NOTE* Specific information such as email servers, usernames, email addresses, and passwords should have already been provided to you by Ellipse. Please contact us before beginning, if you do not have this information. 1. Start by opening Windows Mail. 2. Click Tools on the top toolbar, and select Accounts from the dropdown menu.
3. In the Internet Accounts window, click the Add... button.
4. Next it will ask you to choose an Account Type. Choose E-mail Account and click Next.
5. You are now asked to enter a Display Name. There is no wrong entry for this field, it is just how Mail will identify the account. Click Next after you have done so.
6. Now you will need to enter your full email address, then click Next.
7. Choose POP3 as your incoming e-mail server type. Enter mail.<domain.com> in both the Incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server: and Outgoing e-mail server (SMTP) name: fields, but replace <domain.com> with your property website domain. For example, if your property was abc.com, you would enter mail.abc.com. Enable Outgoing server requires authentication and select Next.
8. Enter the first half of your email address in the E-mail username: field. If your email address was mgr@abc.com, you would enter mgr as your username. Enter the password for your email account in the Password: field. Choose the Remember Password option if you'd like to have Mail enter your password automatically when it sends or receives email, then click Next.
9. Enable Do not download my e-mail at this time and click Finish so we can continue on with the advanced settings.
10. Select Tools then Accounts as you did in step 2 to return us to the Internet Accounts window. Under the Mail heading, make sure your email account is highlighted. It should be named after your email server. For example, if your email server is mail.example.com, the account name should be mail.example.com. Click the Properties button on the right.
11. In the Properties box that comes up, click the second tab at the top, Servers.
12. At the bottom of the window, under the Outgoing Mail Server heading, check the box for My server requires authentication if it is not already selected.
13. Click the last tab at the top, Advanced. Under the Server Port Numbers heading, on the line that says Outgoing mail (SMTP):, change the number in the textbox from 25 to 587. Click Apply at the bottom of the window. 14. Click OK, and then Close in the Internet Accounts window. You will be returned to your inbox. Your email client is now configured to work with the Ellipse Advanced Spam Filter. Please contact Ellipse immediately if you have any problems with this procedure, or with using your email.
