Access through your email application

Adding mail@shoreacresbc.ca to your email software allows you to receive and send SaNCA emails along with all your other emails.

  1. Open the Email Client: Launch your email client application. Common email clients include Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and various mobile email apps.
  2. Create a New Account: If you haven’t set up any email accounts yet, you’ll typically be prompted to add a new account. Otherwise, look for an option to add a new account, which is usually found in the settings or preferences section.
  3. Choose IMAP as the Account Type: When prompted to select the account type, choose “IMAP” or “Internet Message Access Protocol.” Some clients might ask you to specify the email provider (e.g., Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo, etc.) – select the appropriate one if asked.
  4. Enter Your Email Account Details:
    • Your Name: Enter your full name or the name you want to be displayed as the sender.
    • Email Address: Your full email address (e.g., yourname@example.com).
    • Password: The password for your email account.
  5. Incoming Mail Server (IMAP) Settings:
    • Server Address: This is the IMAP server address provided by your email provider. It usually looks like “imap.example.com” or “imap.yourprovider.com.”
    • Port: The default IMAP port is usually 143. If your email provider uses a different port, they will provide this information.
    • Security Type/Encryption: Choose “SSL/TLS” or “STARTTLS” for secure encrypted connections. Most email providers require secure connections.
  6. Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) Settings:
    • Server Address: This is the SMTP server address provided by your email provider. It usually looks like “smtp.example.com” or “smtp.yourprovider.com.”
    • Port: The default SMTP port is usually 587 or 465. Again, your email provider will provide this information.
    • Security Type/Encryption: Choose “SSL/TLS” or “STARTTLS” for secure encrypted connections. Most email providers require secure connections.
  7. Authentication: Make sure your email client is set to authenticate with the server using your email address and password.
  8. Test the Connection: Some email clients will automatically test the connection after you’ve entered all the details. If not, you can manually initiate a test to check if the settings are correct and the connection to the server can be established.
  9. Complete the Setup: Once the test is successful, complete the account setup process. Your email client will now start synchronizing your emails using the IMAP protocol.
