New Email:

Enter a user name and password and click  New User .  Your email will be your user name, ending in @wilsons.life.

Non-alphanumeric characters (e.g. periods ., ampersands &, dashes -) will be displayed as underscores _ in the Citadel interface.  In actuality, non-alphanumeric characters are ignored by Citadel and you can receive email with any character used in that position (e.g. G.R@wilsons.life is displayed as g_r@wilsons.life, but receives email sent to g.r@wilsons.life).

Additionally, the administrator account can add "aliases" for emails, so if you would like to have additional emails names funnel into the same account, email the admin giw@wilsons.life

Configuring an email app on your phone:

(Or email client software on your computer)

Below are examples of some free email clients for various platforms, but there are many others that also work well.  The built-in Mail applications that come with Mac or Windows can also be used.

Android K-9 Mail
iPhone Canary Mail
Desktop Thunderbird

Every app has some uniqueness, but typically the following steps will work:

  1. Enter your email (e.g. giw@wilsons.life) and password
  2. Choose IMAP as the type of account
  3. Everything uses mail.wilsons.life:
    • May need to change smtp.wilsons.life to mail.wilsons.life
    • May need to change imap.wilsons.life to mail.wilsons.life
  4. Everything else should be left as default or automatic
