Before you can use StarGate you must already have setup atleast one Internet account.
The Internet account tells StarGate what mail servers to connect for downloading messages
and sending messages. The Account setup also includes personal information about yourself.
Personal information are optional and some users dislike publishing there personal information
to the public. SG supports multiple E-mail accounts.
The following diagram shows the main Account setup window.
StarGate automatically set the first created account to be the default account. You can change
the default account by selecting the account in the listview then select the Default button.
There must be a default account otherwise SG will not check or send any messages since it does not
know what account to use.
