Some users rarely use the Internet browser in their daily work. They give preference to programs that can replace the functions of viewers. For example, e-mail can be checked through special programs that must be pre-configured.
Necessary
Windows Live Mail software
Instructions
Step 1
After installing the program, launch it by double-clicking on the shortcut on your desktop. In the main window of the program, click on the first drop-down list and click on the "Add account" link. A window of the same name will appear in front of you, in which you must specify in detail all your registration data: e-mail, password, as well as full name. After entering this data, you must put a mark on the "Remember password" item and click the "Next" button.
Step 2
In the next window, you can watch the progress of the automatic configuration process for your mail server (mail.ru). Then your e-mail box and its contents will be loaded. More often than not, more fine-tuning is no longer required, but there are exceptions to the rules. Therefore, right-click on the address bar and select Properties.
Step 3
In the window that appears, open the "Servers" tab and check the box next to the "User authentication" item. Then click the Options button. Here it is worth highlighting the option "As for the incoming mail server", and then press the "OK" button or press Enter.
Step 4
To protect your Internet connection, as well as enable encryption of incoming mail, it is recommended to use the appropriate setting. To do this, go to the "Advanced" tab and check the box "Connect via a secure SSL connection". To save the selected option, click the "Apply" button.
Step 5
If it was not possible to connect to the mail server, check the box "Manually configure …", specifying the following data: pop.mail.ru (incoming) and smtp.mail.ru (outgoing). To enable encryption of all mail, check the boxes "Connect via secure connection (SSL)" and "Outgoing message server …". Click the "Next" button to complete the configuration of the program.
