Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird & Smartphone Mail Clients.

To setup with your Mail Client you need to add a new Account using the following
details:

Username: Full Email Address e.g. name@akvo.org

Password: Same as Webmail - please change your password in Webmail BEFORE setting
up a mail client.

Incoming Mail Server (IMAP): mail.outbox.se

Port: 993
SSL: Yes

Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): mail.outbox.se

Port: 465

Signatures
----------

You can add a signature to your account either in the Webmail or via the Mail
CLient that you are using. These settings vary per client, if you need help with
this, check with the Software Support role for your platform mentioned here
:ref:`roles`.

Signatures should be a standard and easy to read format, but can be customised to
suit your style.

They should contain your name, email address, telephone number, but may also
contain twitter account, skype, mail address and website location.

Signatures should NOT contain images or HTML code.

This is a sample signature:
