The gear icon is an icon that represents “settings”

Step Three: Manage & Add Account

Scroll down the popup and click “Advanced Setup”. You will then be prompted to which kind of account you’d like to add, please select “Internet Email

Step Five: Fill out all Internet email account fields

Filling out the internet email fields correctly is as follows.

  • “Email Address” and “User Name” must match exactly – both should be your full email address (ie: johndoe@AAAAA.com)
  • “Password” This should be your existing accounts password
  • “Account Name”: again this will be your full email address (the same as fields “Email Address” and “User Name”)
  • In the “Send Your Messages using this Name” you can fill in accordingly with the format you desire
  • “Incoming Email Server”: Type in mail.spectrumcpanel.com:993
  • “Account Type” you will need to select the option “IMAP4”
