2.3. Testing Your Setup

First, we will send an email to test our configuration. To send an email, hit Control-N, or select the File | New Composer menu item. The Composer window will appear. Fill in the To: field with your email address and type something in the subject field. Send the mail by selecting File | Send.

To check your email, select File | Check Mail... A window will pop up and indicate how much mail is being downloaded. If you receive the message you just sent, then congratulations! If, however, you receive any error messages while testing your setup, make sure that your network connection is working and recheck your settings by selecting File | Settings...
