4. You will then be asked whether you would like to Automatically configure settings. This automatically imports your setting from other email clients that you have installed. As this is a new setup, select Let me configure settings myself and press Next.
   
   
   
   

5. Incredimail will ask for you to select your account type. As Freeola is not listed, you will need to select Other.
   
   
   
   

6. You will then need to enter your name, email address and password into the boxes provided. Your email address and password should have already been obtained from within your MyFreeola Account and your name will be the name that you would like your e-mails to say they're from when they are received. Once this form is complete press Next to continue.
   
   
   
   

7. On the next step you will be asked to enter some details about Freeola's servers. The incoming mail server type is IMAP or POP3 depending on the setting in your MyFreeola account (default is POP3). The server address is yourdomainname.freeolamail.net where yourdomainname is your domain name with any dots ( . ) replaced with hyphens ( - ).
   
   The outgoing mail server will need to be smtp.freeolamail.net. Once you have entered the server details, press Next to continue.
   
   Please Note: This Outgoing/SMTP server is only accessible if you are subscribed to our EmailPro service or are using a Freeola Internet connection.
   
   
   
   

8. Incredimail will now try to create your account however you will encounter an error as a username has not yet been entered. When you encounter this error, press Skip to create your account.
   
   
   
   

9. Now press Get Mail to cause Incredimail to check for new messages.

10. Incredimail should now be configured and ready for use with your Freeola email address.
