Hotmail and AOL accounts cannot be imported using this feature, and must be manually entered.

Step | Action
1 | Select Tools > Email Accounts (or [F8] ) to display the Accounts window and then click . The Settings Summary window displays with the Account Settings.
2 | Select the accounts you want to import with the tick boxes, and click .
3 | MailWasher Pro does not import the password for your account, as this is encrypted and needs to be entered again by you. To do this, select the name of the required account in the Tools > Email Account window.
4 | You should be at the Incoming mail tab. Enter your account password in the Password field. If you do not want MailWasher Pro to remember this password, deselect the Remember password checkbox. Click the Bouncing & outgoing mail tab display.
5 | 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.
6 | Click to finish importing your account.
