Creating a New Email Account

Choose if the account should be set up for multiple people or a single person.
It certainly doesn't hurt to have the system set for multiple people just in case you want to add another user



Choose what directory you want the system to be stored in
Click OK



Click New to create a new user account for pegasus



Create a user name for Pegasus and select if you want that user to have Administrative privileges



The Pegasus user account has now been created
Click Close



Click Next



Enter your full email address
Click Next



Enter your POP3, (incoming), mail server information your email provider gave you
Click Next



User name will depend on your email provider. Most email providers use the full email address as the user name
Enter your email password
Click Next



Since Pegasus is based on a time when almost all email accounts went through the Internet Service Provider and their systems used a user name, not an email address
if your email provider, (and many of them do), requires the full email address, not just a user name- you will get this warning
Click OK



Enter the Outgoing (SMTP) server that your email provider has listed
Click Next



Choose your internet connection method
Click Next



Click Finish
If you need to make special configuration changes such as port numbers or authentication continue to changing an account.
