ReSieve Help File

Outlook

• In Outlook select the Tools->Email Accounts... menu option. The E-mail Accounts dialog will appear. [screenshot]
• Click View or change existing e-mail accounts and click Next. Choose the account you want to use ReSieve with and click Change... Make a note of the Incoming mail server (POP3) server name and the User Name. [screenshot]
• Change the Incoming mail server (POP3) server name to 127.0.0.1 and change the User Name to the combination of the original Incoming mail server (POP3) server name and the original User Name separated by a colon. [screenshot]
• So, if the original Incoming mail server (POP3) name was my.mail.com and your username was jdoe, your new username would be my.mail.com:jdoe
• You don't need to change the password.
• Hit Next and then Finish.
• Ensure that ReSieve is running and all mail will be delivered through ReSieve!
• You'll need to make sure ReSieve starts whenever Windows does. If you're using the Windows installer version, you can drag the 'Start ReSieve in Background' link from the ReSieve group in the Start menu to the Startup group. Now, Windows will load ReSieve each time.
• Important! If ReSieve isn't loaded, the mail will not get through - and your email program won't connect!

Okay. Now we've done that, it's time to set up your mail filters, so that once ReSieve has done its work, your email program can take that and put everything in the right folder.

For advanced users, you have the option to modify the subject line to add a [classification] tag or not. It's near the bottom of the Configuration tab in the web UI. No matter which option you choose, the X-Text-Classification header is still added.

• In Outlook select the Tools->Rules Wizard... [screenshot]
• The Rules Wizard appears. Click New... and select Start from a blank rule. [screenshot]
• Outlook can use the X-Text-Classification header, which allows mail filtering to occur completely in the background. Click Next and select with specific words in the message header.
• Now click the gray highlighted specific words link and enter "X-Text-Classification: " followed by the name of one of your buckets in the box that appears and hit Add, then OK.
• Click Next and select move it to the specified folder.
• Click the gray highlighted word specified and a list of folders appears. Select whichever folder you want to move messages from that bucket to and hit OK.
• Hit OK, then Finish.
• Repeat the process for each of your buckets, then OK out.
• You're done!
