If you've ever gotten an email message from ACCC Seminars, you may have noticed that you reply back to the email address seminars@uic.edu. In theory, this email address must go to someone and someone must be able to write messages as seminars@uic.edu. To the former, you create a Distribution List, which is explained in the Address Book section. To the latter, you create Personalities to manage separate email accounts.
|
By clicking on the Personalities Tab, you get your list of Personalities. Right-click the Navigation Window and choose New... from the shortcut menu. This will take you to the New Account Wizard. |
Click on any thumbnail image to see the full picture.
 |
The first step in the New Account Wizard is to determine if you want to create a new account, import from an existing account, or go to advanced setup. |
 |
You give the personality a name. |
 |
You then put in your name, whatever you want people to see in the "From" section of your email message. |
 |
You then type in the name of the new email address. |
 |
You enter the name you would use to log into this account. This is your net ID. |
 |
You should type in the name of the incoming email server, either tigger.cc.uic.edu or icarus.cc.uic.edu. You also choose here between a POP account and an IMAP account. |
 |
If you chose IMAP in Step 6, you must indicate your email location Prefix. Type in "mail/" (without the quotes, and don't forget the slash) If you chose POP in Step 6, you would not see this step. |
 |
You then type in the Outgoing email server. This is "smtpservX.cc.uic.edu" where X is a number between 1 and 8. |
 |
You have completed all the steps. |
