How to add an IMAP account |

For a variety of reasons, the import function does not work on all systems.

If this is the case, you will need to manually enter your settings. To do this you will need to know the name of your:

SMTP server

IMAP server, and

your user name and password.

Complete the steps below to enter an IMAP account.

Step | Action
1 | Select Tools > Email Accounts to display the Email Accounts window and then click . The Select an account type window displays.
2 | Select the IMAP radio button and click to display the Account details for a IMAP account window.
3 | Enter the name that you want MailWasher Pro to use when referring to the account, and if required select the Include this account in default mail check checkbox. Next, click the Incoming mail tab.
4 | Complete the following fields: IMAP server address – enter your IMAP server address. User name – enter your email client username. Password – enter your email client password.

5

If required, click , enter your Server port number, and select the checkbox to indicate if This server requires a secure connection (SSL).

If you use secure email authentication such as CRAM or MD5, specify this by selecting the Use secure authentication checkbox and corresponding radio button.

These options are provided for less common network configurations, and should only be modified by people who are familiar with the required email settings.

6 | Select the Remember password checkbox if you want MailWasher Pro to remember your password and, then click the Bouncing & outgoing mail tab.
7 | Select the Enable bouncing of messages from this account checkbox if you want to enable this function, and then enter your Email address and your SMTP server address. If you have multiple email addresses, click to add them. You need to enter your email address because incoming spam does not always specify the address to which it was sent. Entering your SMTP address enables a bounce notice to be sent when a connection to the machine that sent you the email cannot be made.

8

If required, click to display the Advanced account options window. This window consists of three tabs, the Outgoing mail [SMTP] tab, the Bouncing details tab and the Email addresses tab. These options are provided for people with less common network configurations and should only be modified if you are familiar with the required mail settings.

For more information about bouncing messages and bouncing definitions, see How to bounce email.

9 | Click to add your account. If you want to add another account, click and return to Step 2. Messages marked as read on the IMAP server also display as read in MailWasher Pro.

Using IMAP, MailWasher Pro will continue to display all read and unread messages resident in your inbox until you either move or delete them.
