accounts.
After configuring and activating your email account, you may then proceed
to configure your email client (eg. Eudora, Netscape Messenger, Outlook or
Outlook Express) or check your email using our Web-Based Email Manager or
Pine.

# Setting my 'From:' identity in pine?
From Pine's [M]AIN MENU, choose [S]etup, then [C]onfig. Move down to the customized-hdrs
option. Press "Add Value". Use the format:
From: "My Real Name" <myusername@domain.edu>
Note: You may wish to configure default-composer-hdrs so you can easily change
the From: line when composing new messages. The process is the same as adding
to the customized-hdrs entry. If you use this setting, remember that you must
specify all the headers you want to see; simply changing the value to From:
will make From: your only visible header.
Press Return to accept the change, and "E Exit Setup".
