IRCNow

This is an old revision of the document!


In order to add a new e-mail account to your Claw's mail client the process is straightforward. We start by going to the navigation bar on top and selecting Configurion → Create new account.

If you want to replace an existing e-mail account you can choose Configurion → Edit accounts, and we press edit after selecting the account we want to replace.

Two new windows open like in the image above. We now fill the information required in the Basic tab:

Name of account : pick a name/nickname for this account, eg. ircnow-mail

Full Name : pick a name/nickname that might be visible to the people to whom you send mails.

Mail Address: introduce the ircnow e-mail you have obtained.

Organization: this is optional, add the name of the organization if it is relevant for you.

Protocol With POP you download your e-mail to your pc and with IMAP you get copies from the ircnow servers (you will have the mails in both locations.

Now we press Auto configure to get the server's URLs, if it does not work: Server for receiving pop.ircnow.org (or imap.ircnow.org if you chose imap at Protocol). SMTP server (send) smpt.ircnow.org

User ID: Here it expects your ircnow e-mail address again, the same as you introduced at Mail Address. Password: The password of your e-mail account.

We are mostly done, for security reasons it is advised to add STARTTLS by moving to the SSL/TLS tab on the right and click the STARTTLS option at both the POP and the Send(SMTP) frames.

This is it folks enjoy your ircnow e-mail!
