Setting up an e-mail account in Windows 10

In Windows 10 the Mail App is available free of charge. Here you can synchronize your eMails directly with the server. The settings are suitable for most programs.

Just click on the mail application and follow the steps in this guide.

As user name you have to take your email address with the corresponding password. You have defined this yourself. With old Confixx systems the user name is e.g. web123p1. For Plesk the username is your email address. The outgoing mail server is the same as the incoming mail server. Please also check the boxes as shown in the pictures.

The two SSL check marks are very important for the encryption of the connection to the server.

If you click on "Register" you have done it.

Please note that the IMAP folders may not all be visible immediately. You can activate or display them manually. But they will also be displayed if you have sent, deleted or designed the first email.

All e-mails you write or read are now synchronized on all devices on which you have set up the mailbox.
