NOTE:  If you are configuring SpamX for the first time, open your email client [program] and bring up the accounts configuration so you can see what each working account looks like.  The entries in SpamX are the same as those in the working account.

When adding new accounts, open each account in your email client [program] and duplicate the entries found there into the new SpamX account [you will need to know your password for each account as these must always be typed into any password field].

Use this link for a graphical illustration of the field relationships to an email client account for quick reference.

New Account
Item Description
Display Name Put the the name you want displayed in the Account List here.
This name has no effect on any functions and may be anything descriptive for the account.
Account Name Put the account name your ISP or network administrator has furnished you for your mail in this field [this may or may not be the email address, depending on individual server configurations].  If you have your email account from your email client open [good idea as it makes this the most accurate], this is the same as the "Account ID" or "Account name" or "Logon name", etc. from the email account in your email program.
Password Enter the password for the email account.
NOTE: Password fields must be typed in! Copy & Paste never works in a password field, anywhere, since all it ever does is copy and paste the characters you SEE in the field - not the ones you put in there originally.
Don't feel bad - This has never been painfully obvious.
POP server Put the name or IP address of the server your ISP or network administrator has furnished you for incoming mail in this field.  This is the same incoming POP server used in your regular email client.
Port The default POP port is 110.  Only change this if required for your email account.  Your working email account in your email client already contains the correct value for this entry - SpamX is not any different.
Active The default is Active.  Remove the checkmark to remove the account from active status.  Inactive accounts remain on the list but will not be checked during scheduled runs.
