Configuring Windows Mail¶
Windows 7, 8, 10 & 11 all have Windows Mail as the default mail client, rather than the familiar Outlook (which is now part of Office 365, Microsoft's paid subscription package).
Note
Important: Before proceeding with configuring windows mail, you will need to have created an email account. If you have not done that yet, stop and do that now before proceeding.
Configuring Windows Mail¶
Configuring Windows Mail for the first time¶
- Open
Mailon Windows. - If this is your first account, immediately, a popup should open up with
Other account(POP, IMAP) as one of the options. Select it. - Populate your full email address (user@example.com), your display name (what people see when they receive your email), and your password.
- Hit
Sign in, and everything should populate automatically.
If you've already used Windows Mail
If you've already used Windows Mail, the new account popup doesn't automatically appear. You'll need to use the gear icon in the left blue-pane to get to Manage accounts.
Email Connection Settings¶
Your email connection settings are as follows. We highly recommend using IMAP only as it's advantages are plentiful.
| Protocol | Hostname | Port |
|---|---|---|
| IMAP | imap.fused.com | 993 for SSL/TLS |
| POP3 | pop3.fused.com | 995 for SSL/TLS |
| SMTP | smtp.fused.com | 465 for SSL, 587 for TLS |
