Windows Client Setup

Check Your Identity Details

From the identity details page, you must have at least the following:

Your email
Your password

If your client does not support automatic configuration, you will also need these:

Outgoing server address and port
Incoming server address and port
User name (same as your identifier, email will also work)

Mozilla Thunderbird

Thunderbird is one of the best email clients supporting all major desktop platforms, including Linux. It's easy to configure Thunderbird - all you need to do is enter your email and password. You can download Thunderbird here.

When you open Thunderbird, you will be asked to set up an account (or you can do it at any time by selecting File, New, Existing Mail Account from the menu).

Enter your name (as it will appear to email recipients), email address and password. Click "Continue".

The account will be configured automatically. Click "Done".

Windows Mail

Windows Mail is included in Windows 10 and 11 (maybe older versions as well).

Add New Account

Open Windows Mail (you can search for Mail in the search bar). Once there, click on the settings button in the bottom left corner of the window. Then, click "Manage Accounts", "Add account".

In the list of account types, chose "Other account POP, IMAP".

In the next screen, fill in the form as follows:

For "Email address", enter your identifier followed by "@ubikom.cc". For example, if your identifier is "bob", you would enter "bob@ubikom.cc".
For "Send your messages using this name", enter your name as you want it to appear to email recipient. It can be anything. Mail doesn't care.
For "Password", enter the password from the identity details page (same password you chose when creating your identity).

Click "Sign in". Mail will do it thing and fail. You will need to click "Try again" until it gives up and shows you "Internet email account" screen where you can specify details of your email service.

Configure Your Account

Now, you should see "Internet email account" screen where you can specify your account options.

For "User name", enter your user name from your identity details page.
For "Password", enter your password (this field may be already populated).
For "Account Name", enter the name for this account, for example, "Ubikom Mail".
For "Send your messages using this name" field, enter your name as you want it to appear to mail recipients.
For "Incoming email server", enter "imap.ubikom.cc".
For "Account Type", choose "IMAP".
For "Outgoing (SMTP) email server", enter "smtp.ubikom.cc".
Make sure "Outgoing server requires authentication" box is checked.
Make sure "Use the same name and password for sending email" box is checked.

Click "Sign in". On the next screen, click "Done".

Any other client

You can use any email client that supports IMAP (or POP3) and SMTP, which is virtually all of them! Check out the instructions for setting up a generic client.

Problems?

If your setup doesn't work, double-check your settings. You might want to delete this account completely and try to set it up again.
