== Creating an EEmail Account ==Creating an Email account is probably the most common task that a given user will want to do. Fortunately, it's also a very simple task. To create a new email account, you need to access the ''Tools -> Account Settings'' menu item. A new dialog window should appear on your screen. Click the '''Add Account''' button at the lower-left corner of the dialog. A new dialog window should appear on your screen. Select the ''Email Account'' option, then click ''Next'' to proceed. On the next screen you will be asked to fill in the required fields with your name and email address. Fill in the fields and click ''Next'' to proceed to the next screen. Here you will be asked information about your Internet Provider's mail server: whether it is a POP or IMAP server, and the mail server's Internet Domain Name. Contact your ISP's technical support for this information. Again, click ''Next'' to proceed to the next screen. On the next few screens you will be asked to fill in your username, the name of the account, and also to set up an SMTP server. At the end, click Finish, and you will be returned to the Account ==Settings dialog. You may correct any mistakes you mave have made in setting up your account here.
