**NOTE:** In most cases, an automatic configuration via the wizard described in the [first configuration guide](https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/tutorials/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). An independent guide for both methods can be found in [Auto Discover | LD Documentation](https://doc.ld-online.net/e-mail/auto-discover).

## 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.

|
|
3. Press the "Accounts" button
|
|
4. Click on the "+" icon to add a new account
|
|
5. Select your provider or "custom"
|
|
6. Enter your account credentials and modify the server name & port, if necessary
|
|
7. Press the "Check" button
|
|
8. Check the recognized default folders
|
|
9. Save with "Add related identity" enabled
|
|
10. Enter the Identity details (e.g. the FROM name and address)
