This is the email client from windows that replaced Outlook Express. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to do this.
1. Open Windows Mail
2. Go to Tools > Accounts
3. When you see the new window, click the “Add” button
4. Select email account and click “next”
5. You will now be asked for “Display name” This is just for your reference so you know which email account this is, EG “Website Mail” Click Next
6. Enter the actual email address you are setting up, EG Support@yoursite.com, Click Next.
7. Make sure the email type box is set to IMAP then enter your incoming and outgoing mail server settings, these are both:
UK Sites
mail.YOURDOMAINNAME.com
US Sites
mail.YOURDOMAINNAME.com
make sure the box that says “Outgoing server requires authentication” is ticked/checked. Click Next.
8. Enter the username for this email account. IMPORTANT!!! This is the FULL email address. So your username would be support@mysite.com, not just “support”. Now enter the password for the email account in the second box and click next.
9. Click Finish
Setup is done, you should now be able to send and receive the email from your account.
