2.  In the Options window, you will see a column of icons on the left-hand side. Scroll to the very top of the column, and click on the very first icon at the top, named "Getting Started." Then configure the items listed on the right-hand side. The picture below shows some examples, but your settings will be unique. For instance, wherever the word "username" appears below, replace it with your own, unique username that you chose on your original application form. In the blank labeled "POP account," type your username followed by "@mail.yourdomain.net" in all lowercase characters as shown below. (Please note that this is not your e-mail address, but rather a string of characters that tells the program what your username and mail server are.) In the blank labeled "Real name," type a name that you would like to appear as the sender on all outgoing messages. For this, most people type their full name or a family name, but you may type whatever you like. In the blank labeled "Return address," type your e-mail address in all lowercase characters. At the bottom, click and place a dot in the circle labeled "Winsock (Network, PPP, SLIP)." Make sure the remaining circle and check box are not marked. Proceed to step #3.

3.  Next, click the second icon in the left-hand column labled "Personal Info." Then configure the items on the right-hand side. The first three items should already be filled in with the information you entered in step #2. You only need to fill in the blank labeled "Dialup username" at the bottom, where you should type your username that was chosen on the original application form. Make sure the username is typed in all lowercase characters. Then proceed to step #4.

4.  Next, click the third icon in the left-hand column labled "Hosts." On the right-hand side, you will find that the blank labeled "POP account" is already filled in, because that was entered in step #2. Therefore, the only remaining blank that needs to be filled in is the blank labeled "SMTP," in which you should type "mail.yourdomain.net" as shown below. The two blanks at the bottom, labeled "Ph" and "Finger," can be left blank. Proceed to step #5.

5.  Next, click the fourth icon in the left-hand column labled "Checking Mail." On the right-hand side, you will find that the blank labeled "POP account" is already filled in, because that was entered in step #2. All of the remaining options are optional and are best configured as shown below. There are two items worth pointing out. First, make sure there is not a check in the box labeled "Send on check." Second, make sure there is a check in the box labeled "Save password" if you do not want to have to re-type the password every time you check for mail. Third, at the bottom of the window under "Authentication style," click and place a dot in the circle labeled "Password." Once all of the items in this window are properly configured, click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window. That completes the configuration process.
