Please note that if you're adding your Gmail address to Apple Mail 4.0 for the first time with automatic configuration, your mail will automatically be configured for IMAP access.

2. On the Accounts tab, click the + button to add a new account.
3. Fill in the Welcome to Mail window with the following information:
   • Full Name: [your name]
   • Email Address: your full email address [username@gmail.com, or username@your_domain.com for Google Apps users]
   • Password: your Gmail password
4. Click Create, verify your Account Summary, and you’re all set!
   • Check our recommended client settings, and adjust your client's settings as needed.

If you’d like to verify your IMAP settings after you have configured your mail client, you can view this through the Accounts tab by going through Mail > Preferences... The settings should be as follows:

Introduction to the Online Business Expert

Your login information will have arrived in a separate email.

One of the great things about this platform is that the supporting documentation is very comprehensive. The first thing to look at is the "Getting Started Guide" which you have already received - some of the areas you won't be using so just skip those areas. The other valuable help facility is our online business "wiki" - find it at http://onlinebusinesswiki.com and just use the search function. Of course we will always be available to assist you if you get into trouble.

Another really good facility is the video tutorials http://onlinebusinesswiki.com/index.php?title=Video_Tutorials where you get a step by step walkthrough to help you keep on top of your online business.

Our advice is to just take it slowly and ask any questions you might have.

Here's a little program of videos to get you started:

1. System Orientation & Introduction
2. Using SiteWalk
3. Using the WYSIWYG Editor
4. Using the Editor

The main things to remember when using the editor:

• If you are copying and pasting from a word processor or web page - always select "Paste Plain Text" so we don't end up with redundant or conflicting formatting
• Use styles for headings instead of changing font attributes i.e. Heading 1, heading 2, paragraph, etc
• If it begins to look messy, contact Web Design Experts and I can give you a few pointers about the foibles of this particular wysiwyg editor
