Ten Foot Mail Reader Quick Start
You can run the Mail Reader from the Launcher. To start reading Emails, you need to add one or more Email accounts. Press your Yellow button or press Skip/Tab until the Yellow button is highlighted and press OK/Enter. You will be prompted for the following details:
- Title - this identifies your account in the list shown when the Mail Reader starts. For example "Andy's Email account"
- POP3 server address
- POP3 server id; often, but not always, your Email address
- POP3 password
- Whether your connection to the POP3 server is encrypted using SSL, or not (most aren't, Gmail is a notable exception)
- Which port number the Mail Reader should use to connect to the POP3 server; defaults to the standard port
- Optionally, you can specify a password to protect your Email.
The first and last items come from you. You can get the rest from your existing Email settings or your Email provider.
