Personal Information

Name and Address Options (all fields are optional)

Full Name: Enter your name. This will be used to identify you in outgoing email.
Email Address: Enter your email address. Email you send will show this address in the FROM: line.
Reply To: Enter the email address you would like people to reply to. Most email clients will use this email address instead of the "From" address when replying to mail you send.
Signature: If you would like to include a short message or "signature" at the bottom of your emails, you can type it here.

Multiple Identities: If you like to have multiple email addresses, signatures or names, you can enter them here, or select an already created identity.

Your Current Timezone: Email usually includes a timestamp that tells the receiver when you sent it. If you select your timezone here, the timestamp will be more accurate. If not, the server's time zone is used.
