Windows Mail Setup

Note: Windows Mail is no longer supported by Microsoft; it is best to use the newer applications.

1. Open Windows Mail and select Tools, then click on Accounts.

2. Click on Add.

3. Choose E-mail Account and click on Next.

4. Enter your Display name and click on Next.

5. Enter your E-mail address and click on Next.

6. Under Incoming email server type, select:

• IMAP (Recommended), or
• POP

Tip: We recommend using IMAP, especially if you access your email from multiple devices (such as a phone, tablet, or computer). IMAP keeps your emails synchronised across all your devices.

Enter the corresponding settings of the incoming email server type of your choice below.

If you're changing an existing email account from POP to IMAP or from IMAP to POP, we recommend backing up any important emails before making the change. This helps prevent accidental data loss, as some email applications store emails differently depending on the account type.

7. Enter your SpinTel email username (the part before @spin.net.au) and your password.

 

Click on Finish to complete the setup.
