Here is a guide to help you configure IMAP e-mail in Outlook 2016.  If you need assistance setting up POP3, please contact our support team at (406) 889-1500.

To begin configuration of Outlook 2016, click on "File" in the upper left corner of your screen as demonstrated below:

Upon Clicking on File, you will be in the account information section.  Here you will find a button that will allow you to add an account. Click on this button as seen below:

After selecting "Add Account", you will be asked how you would like to set up your e-mail.  Please select IMAP from the list of options.

The next section will ask you to supply your e-mail address. 

1. Please type in your InterBel e-mail address.
2. Next click on Advanced Options
3. Then click on "Let me set up my account manually"
4. Finally click on connect.

This will force Outlook to search for your account settings.  Once it has located your settings, you will receive a prompt to enter your e-mail password.  Once you have typed in your password, click on connect in the lower right corner of the screen:

Once you click on connect, this will change your screen informing you that your account is being set up.  This will only take a few moments and finally you will end up at the final screen and your e-mail will be configured.

Finally click on "Done" to finish the process.  Your e-mail will now be configured for use on in Outlook 2016!

The Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail set up is a pretty simple process.  The following steps will have you set up with IMAP e-mail in a matter of a couple of minutes!

Once you have Thunderbird open, there are two ways to set up a new account.  If you had previously used Thunderbird, there will be and option to set up an account on the main screen as seen below:

Or select "Tools" (1)  from the Menu bar.  In the drop down menu select "Account Settings" (2) at the bottom.

Then at the bottom left of the "Account Settings" window, click on "Account Actions" --> "Add Mail Account"

At this point we will start setting up your e-mail account. In the Set up window, provide the following:

1. Name
2. E-mail address
3. Password
4. Click Continue

After a few moments, you will arrive at the server configuration page. You will notice all the server settings have been filled in for you automatically.  Click on "Done" to finish.

This will complete the IMAP e-mail set up for Thunderbird! If you have any questions, please contact our support  team at (406) 889-1500.

Setting up your email to work with an Apple iPad or iPhone is a pretty simple process.  This guide will walk you through the steps required to get this accomplished.

First, we will need to find the settings tile on your iOS device.

This will open up your device settings.  Swipe up until you find Passwords & Accounts. Tap on Passwords & Accounts to continue:

This will load you into this section. Under the Accounts section, tap on Add Account to continue:

On the next screen, tap on the Add Mail Account option at the top.

Next you will provide the following details.

1. Provide your Name
2. Provide your E-Mail address
3. Provide your E-Mail Password
4. Tap on Next to continue

After tapping next you will be brought to the server configuration page. IMAP will already be selected. The following information will need to be configured:

1. Under "Incoming Mail Server", type imap.interbel.net
2. Supply the "User Name" which is your full e-mail address.
3. Next will be your "Password" for your e-mail account.
4. Now we will configure the "Outgoing Mail Server" In the "Host Name" section, type smtp.interbel.net
5. Again like the Incoming mail, supply your full e-mail address.
6. Finally supply your e-mail password one more time and then tap the done button on the keyboard.  This will start the verification process.

 

We are almost finished at this point.  You will notice at the top of the screen it states "Verifying".  This process takes a little time.

After the verification process is complete, there is one final step to complete your e-mail set up. Simply tap on save in the upper right corner to complete the process.

Your Apple iOS device is now ready to use your InterBel e-mail service!

 

Lets set up your InterBel e-mail to work with Android devices.  First you will want to access settings from your home screen or apps screen.

Once in settings, you will need to scroll down the list until you locate Accounts. Tap on Accounts to continue.

After you have tapped on Accounts, you will see a list of your accounts currently on the device.  Locate and tap on"Add Account" to continue.

After you have tapped on Add account, you will need to select the account type.  Tap on Email to continue.

On the screen you should now see different e-mail services to select from. Locate the one that states "Others" and tap to continue.

Once you have selected others, we will begin the process of setting up your e-mail account. On this screen, you will be asked to provide your e-mail address and password.  Once you have entered both tap on Sign in to continue.

This will attempt the automatic configuration of your account.  If all goes well, you will be able to skip the next couple of steps.

For those of you that automatic configuration doesn't work, here are the steps to manually configure your incoming and outgoing servers.

Above are the configuration settings for the incoming mail server. Provide your e-mail address and password. The incoming mail server is imap.interbel.net.  Security type will be set to SSL and the Port will be set to 993.

Above are the configuration settings for the Outgoing server. The SMTP server is smtp.interbel.net.  Security type is SSL and the Port is 465.

Once you have entered all the required information, tap on next to continue.

After a few moments, you will be presented with a screen asking about sync settings. I would recommend using the default settings. Tap on Done to complete your e-mail set up.

There is one final step required to complete your e-mail set up on an Android device.

You can elect to set the account name and real name so when you send e-mail, your contacts know who is sending the message. Leave these be or fill them in with the information you would like.  Tap on Done to complete the process and start using your InterBel e-mail account with your Android device.
