With MailMate's email filter system, all emails are received and filtered by MailMate at first. And then your email client software (such as Outlook, etc) receives filtered emails from MailMate. So you should configure your email client software to receive emails from MailMate instead of directly from the email server.

MailMate can automatically configure the following email client softwares:

1) Microsoft Outlook
2) Microsoft Outlook Express
3) Eudora

If you use one or more of the above email client softwares, please select the corresponding email application and click "Configure Email Program Automatically" button to configure it automatically.

If you use other email software, you should manually change settings as follows:

1) Start your email application and bring up the account settings dialog box.

2) Set the incoming server (POP3 Server) of the email account to your local host, i.e. 127.0.0.1
For example, your original POP3 Server pop.yourdomain.com should be changed to 127.0.0.1

3) Use your email address as the POP3 User Name.
For example, for the email account of jack@yourisp.com, the original POP3 user name is jack, and now it should be set to the email address itself, that is, jack@yourisp.com .

Note: The above changes are for the incoming settings; your outgoing settings (SMTP Server address and username) needn't to be changed.

Please refer to the following example (manually configure Outlook, the email address is: david@brezosoft.com ).

Above are the comparison pictures before and after configuration. Please pay attention to the circled area in the above pictures. What changed are incoming settings (POP3), not outgoing (SMTP) ones.
