Impulse Customer Support Screen Shots

Thank you for visiting our screen shots section. We have recently updated our email servers - please use the following screenshots and settings to properly configure your email client. If you're looking for a new email client, we highly recommend our new webmail interface. Click here to learn more then click here to try it.

These instructions assume you have opened Apple's Mail application before and are changing settings in an email account that has already been configured in the program. If you are setting up a new account, Apple should already be walking you through the initial setup process. The information the setup assistant will require is provided in various fields below.

The following screenshots were taken from the most recent version of Apple Mail.

    The Mail.app menu
  1. From the Mail menu, select Preferences.
    2. Apple Mail Preferences, Accounts
  2. Click on Accounts at the top of the preferences window. Your Impulse email account should be displayed in the Accounts list on the left. Select it if it is not already highlighted.
  3. Enter your full email address in the text field for Email Address.
