Tip: Choose a good password. Stolen email accounts due to too simple passwords are
one of the main causes of successful virus attacks, identity theft and advertising harassment.

Troubleshooting
Most common mistakes:
- The username is not freely selectable and not your name. Here must always be the e-mail address of this account instead!
- The ports are not set correctly? (For Apple, the ports are visible when “Manage connection settings automatically” is disabled).
- SSL/TLS must be enabled.
- When copying/pasting the password, a space may have been copied along. As a precaution, type the password manually.

However, it may be necessary to install the certificates for SSL encryption manually. In this case, simply download the certificate pair matching the host name from the following links and install the certificates by double-clicking on the respective file:
