In many cases, the incoming and outgoing
mail servers are the same.
Username??”Enter the name by which the mail server knows you. For example, if your
e-mail address is chris@linuxtoys.net, your username to the mail.linuxtoys.net server
might simply be chris. However, it??™s possible that your username on the mail server might
be different, so you should find that out from the administrator of your mail server.
Account title??”Enter the name that you want to call this mail account so you can refer
to it later in your list of mail and news group accounts.
Authentication type??”Indicate the type of authentication to use when you get your mail
(sometimes authentication is needed to send your mail as well). Password authentication
is normal. Usually you can have your e-mail client remember your password if you want.
Typically, you are prompted for the password the first time you connect to get your mail.
That is most of the basic information you need to start getting and sending e-mail. However, you
may want to further tune how your e-mail client interacts when it gets and sends e-mail.
Tuning Up E-Mail
With your basic settings done, you should be ready to start sending and receiving your e-mail. Before
you do, however, you should consider some of the other settings that can affect how you use mail:
Automatically check messages??”You can set your e-mail client to automatically check
and download your messages from the mail server every few minutes.
