  10. Options: Tap this to see more options:

The first time you open tkcMail, you will see this screen:


Creating Mail Accounts:

Create New Identity:
To set up mail accounts, tap on the icon. Then tap the Options icon . You’ll see this screen:

Tap on “Create new identity” button. Enter the name you want to give the identity. I chose “Home” for my home mail account:

Tap OK. Enter your name and email address:


Associate with send profile:
Tap the ? button and the following help information is displayed: Enabling this option allows a send profile to be selected automatically, based on the identity currently in use. This will affect what happens when you are composing a message and press the “Send” button. Without this option enabled, if you have more than one Send Profile, you will be asked which to use for delivering the message. With this option enabled, the Send Profile you have chosen for association with this identity will be automatically selected and the message will be delivered according to the information therein. If you wish to be asked which send profile (and therefore outgoing server) should be used every time you send a message, leave this option unchecked.

Associate with IP option:
Tap the ? button next to this option and the following help information will be displayed: When this option is activated and the computer’s IP (network) address matches that given, this identity will become the default when composing. This is useful if you connect to networks where your IP address is given automatically (via DHCP) and may be different every time you connect to that network. You may provide a full IP address or leave some numbers as 0 (zero) to denote “any”. As an example, assume that you connect to a network where addresses of the form “192.168.1.n” are given out and “n” may be different every time you connect. TkcMail will recognize that you are connected to this network if you specify 192.168.1.0.

Setting Storage Option:
Tap the Storage tab on the Settings screen:

Choose the location where you want your mail stored.

Setting up Mail account:
Tap the Receiving tab on the Settings screen. Tap “Create new account” button:

POP is select as there is currently no IMAP support (coming soon!). Enter a name for the mail account. Tap OK. The next screen is the “Configure Account” screen:

Enter your mail server name (incoming mail), username and password. This won’t normally change even if your internet connection changes. You can also select the options to remove downloaded messages from server and to use SSL on this screen. Tap OK after entering your relevant information.

Creating a Send Profile:
This setting allows you to set multiple Send profiles. If you send email from home you will want a send profile reflecting your ISP’s outgoing mail server. If you connect from work, you’ll need another one for sending mail from that location.
Tap the Sending tab on the Settings screen:

Tap “Create new send profile” button:

Pick a name for the Send profile. Each send profile must have a unique name. I called mine “Home”. Tap OK.

Enter the outgoing mail server name. You can also set your authentication information on this screen.

Setting Display options:
Tap the “Display tab on the Settings screen:

Set the display options to your preferences. Once you have set all your mail accounts and profiles, tap OK in the upper right corner of the Settings screen. This takes you back to your Message view screens. If you tap on the button that says “Local/Drafts”, you’ll see the other mail folders, Inbox, Outbox, Sent and Trash:

Downloading Mail:

Tap on the icon on the top bar. This will bring up a screen where you can pick some download options such as setting the maximum size of messages to be downloaded or the maximum number of messages to download. Pick the options that suit you and then tap the “Start download” button. I selected Maximum messages of 10. While your email is downloading, a status screen appears:

Viewing Email:

Choose “Local/Inbox from the drop-down below the top icon bar. The default is a split screen where you view the list of emails at the top, and tap to select an email to view below:

If you tap the icon, it toggles to full screen. To view an email in full screen, tap and hold on the email you want to view.
