The Mail Daemon Replacement supports multiple mail accounts. Mail
accounts are set up by first clicking the Add button. You will than
have to choose what Account Type you want to have:

The options are Inbound Only, Outbound Only and Inbound
& Outbound. Inbound Only means that you can only receive
mail with that account and not not send out mail, as for instance
replying the mail from within the same account.
Outbound Only means that you can only send e-mails from
that account and not receive any mails with it. Inbound & Outbound
are accounts that lets you both receive and send mails. In this
manual we have chosen to make an Inbound & Outbound account,
as they are the most commonly used.

As you choose the Account Type the rest of the Account
Configuration will be made available. You can give the
account the Account Name you want, typically you would
call it Home, Private or Work. In the Real Name filed you
should write your full name, and in Return Address your
e-mail address. Click then Test Mail's Incoming:

The first you have to define is what protocol you want to use to
receive mails: POP or IMAP. In this example we have chosen to show
how you configure POP, as it is the most commonly used protocol.
In Mail Host you should write in the name of the mailserver
that you will be downloading new mails from. Normally it will be
called pop, imap or mail.something.nnn . Than add your User
Name and Password in the following two field. The
next is the Authentication Method which can be in Plain
Text (default) or APOP (encrypted).
By default you will remove the mails from the server as you download
them. MDR gives you the option Leave the Mail on Server,
which gives you the opportunity to download the mail on more than
one machine, for instance both on your machine at work and home.
It also comes with the handy option Delete Mail From Server
When Deleted Locally, so that you don't have to download uninteresting
mails twice.
MDR gives you several options for how you can be notified when
receiving new mails. By default the notification is set to none.
Options are Beep, Alert, Keyboard LEDs,
Central Alert, Central Beep and Log Window.
By default the Destination Folder that mails are download
is /boot/home/mail/in. This can be changed by clicking
Select... . You can also choose not to download mails larger
than an own defined size in KB.
In Test Mail's Outgoing you will find
the Source Folder for all outgoing mails. By default set to /boot/home/mail/out.
This might be something that you would like to change, if you have
changed the default folder for incoming mails.
As mentioned the protocol for outgoing mail is SMTP. This server
would normally be smtp.something.nnn . Often you will not need any
kind of authentication for the SMTP as you are already authenticated
with checking the POP server for new mails. If you need to authenticate
also for the SMTP, you can choose between ESMTP and POP3
before SMTP.
