Enter the account details that you have received from us. Enter the "username" in the E-mail username field, the "password" in Password. Windows Mail will remember the password if you check Remember password. Storing your account information in the news reader's configuration is a potential security risk. If you are unsure, please refer to our FAQ at http://news.cis.dfn.de/faq.html#1.6. It is not necessary to enter a password if your institution is a member of the institutional access scheme (Anwenderzulassung) and you are accessing the server from your institution's network.
Click Finish to confirm the end of this configuration part.
