Cha kwanza fungua email account ie. Live, aol, yahoo, gmail, vodamail etc. Kisha nenda kwenye messages, email, settings hapo waweza create account na hiyo client ina nafasi za kujaza ie. Standard configuration instructions:

Full Name or Display Name:
[your name]
Account Name or User Name:
your full email address (including @
gmail.com or
your_domain.com)
Email Address:
your email address (username@
gmail.com or username@your_
domain.com)
Password:
your Gmail password
Unless you're using recent mode to
download mail to multiple clients, make
sure you've opted not to leave
messages on the server. Your POP
settings in Gmail settings are what
determines whether or not messages
stay on the server, so this setting in
your client won't affect how Gmail
handles your mail.
If your client does not support SMTP
authentication, you won't be able to
send mail through your client using
your Gmail address.
If you're having trouble sending mail
but you've confirmed that encryption is
active for SMTP in your mail client, try
to configure your SMTP server on a
different port (465 or 587). Hii Gmail nilikuwaga naitumia kwenye slvr l7 mwaka 2007 lakini miaka ilivyozidi kwenda ikawa inaniandikia invalid certificate nikahamia hizo zingine ila sikufunga account.
