Logging In Using IMAP on a Computer
To access your email account using IMAP on a computer, follow these steps:
Open Your Email Client: Launch your preferred email client software on your computer. This could be Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or any other email application you use.
Add an Account:
Find the option to add a new account. Look for "Add Account," "New Account," or similar, usually in the account settings or preferences section.
Enter Your Information:
Provide the following details in the respective fields:
Your Name: Your name as you want it to appear in outgoing emails.
Email Address: Enter your full email address (e.g., yourname@thelakerestaurant.nl).
Password: The password associated with your email account.
Configure Server Settings:
Choose the account type as "IMAP" (not POP3).
Incoming Mail Server (IMAP): Enter "mail.thelakerestaurant.nl."
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): Enter "mail.thelakerestaurant.nl."
Port Numbers: For IMAP, use 993; for SMTP, use 587.
Encryption Method: Choose "STARTTLS" or "TLS" for security.
Authentication:
Ensure your email client is set to use "Password" or "Normal Password" for authentication.
Test and Complete:
Some email clients allow you to test the configuration. If prompted, click "Test" or "Verify." The client will attempt to connect to the server and verify your settings.
Finalize Setup:
If the test is successful, you'll receive a confirmation message. Complete the account setup.
You might be prompted to choose synchronization options, folder settings, and other preferences.
Access Your Emails:
Once setup is complete, your email client will start syncing your mailbox.
You'll see your emails, folders, and other mailbox contents available in the client.
