  • Steps 1 to 3 cover the initial set-up of the mail client.
  • Steps 4 and 5 show how to call up the account settings to be able to change individual parameters subsequently, for example - cf. steps 6 and 7 - to ensure authentication at the outgoing mail server in the SMTP server settings.
  • From step 8 onwards it is explained how you can integrate the university address book.
