**NOTE:** In most cases, an automatic configuration via the wizard described in the [first configuration guide](first-config.md) should work right away. If you are using a custom domain & server and the wizard doesn't work as expected, you can enable automatic configuration by implementing [RFC 6186](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6186) within the DNS and / or [Thunderbird:Autoconfiguration](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Autoconfiguration).

## Accounts & identities

**Accounts** are basically your IMAP and POP3 accounts for reading mails. FairEmail uses your account to fetch _incoming_ mails.

**Identities** are SMTP accounts for sending mails. FairEmail will use the identity to send _outgoing_ mails.
