1. Nw we have to change the IMAP port number from the default: On the left panel click on Server Settings under the new account. Change the Port to 3143 from the default of 143.
   
   Deletions:
   You now need to set up your usual mail client software to read the emails held in the Freemail directory and to send outgoing emails into Freenet. To do this you need to set up an IMAP account on localhost port 3143 for incoming emails, and an SMTP account on localhost 3025 for outgoing emails.

   ~1) From the Edit menu, select Account Settings.
2. From the Edit menu, select Account Settings.
3. In the left-hand panel, scroll down and click on the Outgoing Server (SMTP) option.
4. You probably already have at least one SMTP server set up already for your normal emails. So click on the Add... button to create one specially for freemails.
5. Under Description put anything you want - Freemail might be a good choice. Set Server Name to localhost and change Port to 3025. Make sure Use name and password is checked and put your original account name as the User Name (john in our example). Use secure connection should be set to No (don't worry, it's only the local connection that is unencrypted). Click OK.
6. The final thing is to set your new Freemail account to use this outgoing server instead of the default one. So in the left panel find and click on the top line of the new incoming mail account you added. In our example this would be something like me@jsmith.freemail. There should be a drop-down box called Outgoing Server (SMTP). Set this to the new setup we just added: something like Freemail - localhost. And click OK.
