Configure your eMail profile
In addition to your
registration with IzyMail, you must configure you eMail application to make
use of it.
We recommend the Quick Start wizard on the
right side. It will create a Windows-compatible account definition on your computer.
Outlook, Outlook Express and several other applications automatically recognize
the new profile.
Instructions
- Exit your eMail application
- Execute the auto-configuration wizard on the right side
- Restart your email application
- When you email application has restarted:
- Your application may prompt you to import the new profile. Confirm the dialog
- If the profile is not imported automatically, execute the menu option to import
an account profile from Outlook Express 6
Manual configuration
Manual configuration of the email profile is possible and recommended to set advanced
options.
