When setting up Mail for Windows 10 for the first time you’ll see the screen below. Click ‘Get Started’ (if you’ve set up an account for Windows 10 before, please skip to step 3).
On the next screen, as shown below, click ‘Add Account’.
If you’ve set up an account in Mail for Windows 10 before then you’ll see this screen instead:
From here, click on ‘Accounts’ on the left and ‘Add account’ from the menu which appears on the right.
You’ll now be asked to choose an account. Scroll down using the scroll bar on the right. Choose the bottom option- ‘Advanced set-up’ by clicking on it.
On the next screen, choose the ‘Internet email’ option by clicking on it
You’ll now be prompted to enter/choose the following details (not all of these options will be visible on the screen at once but there is a scroll bar to the side which you can use as you progress through the steps.):
Account name – This is just a nickname or ‘label’ for the account. For example, if this is your work account you might choose the label ‘Work’.
Your name – This should be the way you want your name to appear to people who receive emails from you.
Incoming email server – your domain name or mail.stred.tech
Account Type – Click on the dropdown and choose ‘IMAP4’.
Email address – enter the email address for the mailbox you are currently setting up.
Username – The username for your mailbox is the email address so enter this again.
Password – Enter the password you chose for your mailbox when you created it.
Outgoing (SMTP) email server – your domain name or mail.stred.tech
Finally on this screen there are four tick boxes as follows:
Outgoing server requires authentication
Use the same username and password for sending email
Require SSL for incoming email
Require SSL for outgoing email
These will be ticked by default and you should leave all four of these ticked. You should now click on ‘Sign in’.
It should now be confirmed that your account was successfully set up! You can now click on ‘Done’ to complete the setup wizard.
Please note:If this is the first time you’ve used Mail for Windows 10, you’ll be taken back to the main ‘accounts’ screen where you started. If you have another email account to add in you should click on ‘Add Account’ again and follow the steps above once more.
If this is the only email account you’re setting up today, then click on ‘Ready to go’ (as in the screenshot below) to access your email (if you’ve set up an account in Mail for Windows 10 before you’ll be taken to your email management screen when you click ‘Done’).
