HI Marina:

1. Email settings are contained in each account (Setup:Mail Accounts...) and 
are in three tabs. You have to get some details from your ISP, or check the 
required details in the emailer you are using at the moment.

Tab 1 Identity:
Fill out the fields with your email address and other information.
In the Advanced section you can add headers in the "Other headers" such as 
return receipt details
e.g. Return-Receipt-to: Marina <[email protected]>. The return receipt option 
works for all mail sent from a particular account. Unlike Eudora you cannot 
reply to someone else's request for a return receipt, but you can request one 
from recipients you email. If you don't want to have return-receipt for all 
recipients of a particular account, then set up another with all the same 
details,  leave "other headers" blank and call the account "Marina2" or 
whatever.

Tab 2 Receiving
Set the protocol. In my case I always use POP3, I never use IMAP
set your user account ID in my case my email address entered in Tab1 so try the 
email you are using such as "[email protected]"
Set your incoming mail server, for example mail.lockedbags.org (you will have 
to find out the actual server name from your ISP, or find it out in the current 
mail application you are using
Save the password you are using for your email address

Advanced connection details: you will have to find out what your ISP uses, for 
example use secure connection (SSL/TLS) Use port 995 on a dedicated secure port

Tab 3 Sending
Outgoing SMTP Server. Again find out what your ISP uses. Could be the same as 
the incoming mail (for example mail.lockedbags.org) or it could be something 
like smtp.mail.lockedbags.org - ask your ISP.
Set your email address which is one you have already registered with your ISP 
(and be the same as set out on the other tabs)
Type in your password that you registered with your ISP.
Set the secure connection (once again as your ISP says) for example check "Use 
secure connection (SSL/TLS)"; check "Use port: 465"

2. Stationery
PowerMail does not have stationery afaik. I got used to creating stationery 
using Applescript and it works fine, even though I am a total amateur in 
Applescript. If you want to go ahead with buying PowerMail I can send you some 
sample scripts and instructions.

There is a handy scripts menu item to the left of the "Help" menu and you can 
easily access your stationery from there.

I still think Eudora had the best email stationery setup ever. Don't know why 
other emailers lack this essential tool.
