ReSieve Help File

Outlook Express

• In Outlook Express select the Tools->Accounts... menu option. The Internet Accounts dialog will appear. [screenshot]
• Select the account you wish to modify to use ReSieve and click on Properties. [screenshot]
• Choose the Servers tab. Make a note of the Incoming Mail (POP3) server name and the Incoming Mail Server Account Name. [screenshot]
• Change the Incoming Mail (POP3) server name to 127.0.0.1 and change the Incoming Mail Server Account Name to the combination of the original Incoming Mail (POP3) server name and the original Incoming Mail Server Account Name separated by a colon. [screenshot]
• So, if the original Incoming Mail server 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 OK and then Close.
• 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 Express select the Tools->Message Rules->Mail... [screenshot]
• The New Mail Rule window appears. [screenshot]
• Outlook Express cannot use the X-Text-Classification header, which would allow mail filtering to occur completely in the background. So instead, click Where the Subject line contains specific words and also click Move it to the specified folder [screenshot]
• Now click the blue highlighted contains specific words link and the Type Specific Words dialog appears [screenshot]
• Enter the name of one of your buckets, surrounded by [square brackets], then hit OK. Now click the blue highlighted specified word and the Move dialog appears. Click the folder you want to move messages from that bucket to and hit OK. [screenshot]
• Hit OK.
• Repeat the process for each of your buckets, and then OK out.
• You're done!
