  Create additional profiles:

Suppose you have several people in the household using the same computer.  If every e-mail address were configured under the same profile, all the e-mail would be downloaded into the same place.  You would then have to sort through the e-mails finding which belonged to you and which belonged to any other user.  Profiles eliminate this hassle.  Creating a profile is like having your own version of PocoMail; they help keep your mail from any other users of the computer.

To create additional profiles in PocoMail, follow these steps:

On the Toolbar, click File and select Change User from the menu.

 

The Select User window appears.

Click the button Add User.

 

The Add User window appears.

Enter name to identify new user  =  Enter a distinctive name for the new profile.

Click the OK button to close the window.

 

We return to the Select User window.

Select current user  =  Your new profile name now appears in the list of available profiles.

Click the Login button to access the profile.
