Setup Wizard - Define Email Accounts
(Does not apply if Proxy Mode was previously selected)
Item Description
Instructions Window Changes to a list to display the email accounts defined so far.
Clicking on an account in the list will select it for Deleting - Double clicking on a displayed account will copy the account's information into the windows below the list and switches the Add button to Update for making changes.  Delete also functions in Update mode.
Display Name Put the the name you want displayed in the Account List here.
This name has no effect on any functions and may be anything descriptive for the account.
Account Name Put the account name your ISP or network administrator has furnished you for your mail in this field [this may or may not be the email address, depending on individual server configurations].  If you have your email account from your email client open [good idea as it makes this the most accurate], this is the same as the "Account ID" or "Account name" or "Logon name", etc. from the email account in your email program.
Password Enter the password for the email account.
NOTE: Password fields must be typed in!  Copy & Paste never works in a password field, anywhere, since all it ever does is copy and paste the characters you SEE in the field - not the ones you put in there originally.
Don't feel bad - This has never been painfully obvious.
POP server Put the name or IP address of the server your ISP or network administrator has furnished you for incoming mail in this field.  This is the same incoming POP server used in your regular email client.
Active The default is Active.  Remove the checkmark to remove the account from active status.   Inactive accounts remain on the list but will not be checked during scheduled runs or for duplicate accounts when Add is clicked.
Port The default POP port is 110.  Only change this if required for your email account.  Your working email account in your email client already contains the correct value for this entry - SpamX is not any different.
Add Adds the account defined in the fields to the list and clears the Display Name, Account and Password fields.  Add also checks the current account list for duplicate active accounts and returns an error if an active account identical to the one being added is found.
As mentioned earlier, the Add button switches to Update when an account displayed in the list is double clicked.
Go Back Click to go back to previous step.
Continue Click to continue.
Cancel Leave the Setup Wizard.  All data is discarded and the Wizard will start again automatically the next time SpamX is run.
