## How to compose email
### FROM
There are 2 options for how this field might look.
#### 1. classic
In this case, the address consists of three parts, something like this:
`NAME <IDENTITY_NAME@DOMAIN>`
The NAME part is optional.
The IDENTITY_NAME part should be the name of the used Bote identity.
The DOMAIN part can be any valid domain.
For example:
`John Doe <johnd@bote.i2p>`
#### 2. Bote style
In this case, the address consists of two parts, something like this:
`IDENTITY_NAME <BOTE_ADDRESS>`
The IDENTITY_NAME part should be the name of the used Bote identity.
The BOTE_ADDRESS part should be Bote address.
For example:
`johnd <24noEIMPvV9CEwrSWQtIsTA7balaZ80ZOGRBAzrsBl5nv9xud~k28d9TQIgXmyyCYtHl8PJASAFDeefSc6EJ81>`
### TO
Very similar to field FROM with one amendment for option 1:
The <IDENTITY_NAME@DOMAIN> must be in the address book for replacement.
For example, if you have this record in addressbook:
```
johnd1@bote.i2p;John Doe 1;24noEIMPvV9CEwrSWQtIsTA7balaZ80ZOGRBAzrsBl5nv9xud~k28d9TQIgXmyyCYtHl8PJASAFDeefSc6EJ81
```
You can fill TO like this:
`TO: John Doe <johnd1@bote.i2p>`

# Configuring the mail client
_Tested with [Mozilla Thunderbird](https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/)_
## SMTP
1. Turn on SMTP for [this](SMTP.md) instruction.
2. For default settings client side configuration looks like:
- Server name: localhost
- Port: 25
- Connection security: None
- Authentication method: No authentication
- User Name: username
## POP3
1. Turn on POP3 for [this](POP3.md) instruction.
2. For default settings client side configuration looks like:
- Server name: localhost
- Port: 110
- Connection security: None
- Authentication method: Password, transmitted insecurely
For now, you can use any password, as it will be ignored on the pboted side.
