1. Store received emails Mail server name, POP3 or IMAP server.
2. The name of the server that sends emails, SMTP server.
3. Your username, password and email address.

Since different vendors use different specific configurations, Acer cannot provide detailed configuration support. If you have problems configuring your email or sending and receiving emails, please contact your provider. The following instructions are the basic steps for setting up an email client to send and receive emails.
Workaround:
To enter your account information, you can use the wizard when you first launch Windows Live Mail. The steps provided by the wizard are similar to the following steps except that steps 2 and 3 are skipped. If the wizard does not appear, or you want to add an email account later, please follow these steps:
1. Start the email program.
2. In the menu, click Tools and then select Account.
3. In the Internet Account dialog box that opens subsequently, select Add. Select the E-Mail account and click Next.
4. Next, enter the name you want to appear as the sender, and then click Next.
5. Enter the email address of the account you need to configure. Click Next.
6. Select the type of mail server and enter the server name provided by your provider. Typically, this will be something like pop.provider.country or smtp.providername.country, or mail.provider.country (for example: mail.btinternet.com). When finished, click Next.
7. Under Account Name, enter the username provided by your supplier. If you don't get a specific username, an email address is usually used. Enter the password you were given and click Next, then Done.
