PredictMail for any other email client
PredictMail has been tested with and will be supported for email clients where a quick start setup guide has been provided. These email clients have been carefully chosen and validated by PredictWind, with specific code added to enable support for these Apps where required. We recommend using one of the supported email clients with PredictMail.
With many email clients available, given familiarity and individual preference, you may wish to use another email client. If doing so, please be aware that PredictWind cannot offer advanced support for these email clients. The settings shared below are generic and may not be able to be configured into your chosen mail App.
Additionally, you may encounter unexpected errors when using the email App with DataHub Wi-Fi or when attempting to use advanced features, such as downloading large emails from the DataHub Server Quarantine. To work around this, please log in to the DataHub and use the PredictMail capability available on the device to download messages to the DataHub for retrieval.
Before you start
Do you have a PredictMail account?
If you do not have a PredictMail account, please set one up first in the Satellite Portal.
Connect to the Internet via your device's cellular data, home or another high-speed Wi-Fi, or a hot spot from another device. Disconnect from and do not use DataHub Wi-Fi during the PredictMail setup.
Important Note: Email App account setup wizards typically verify your account settings before saving them. It cannot do this during setup when connected to DataHub Wi-Fi, even if the DataHub is connected to the Internet.
To save your account settings, you must use your device's cellular connection, home or another high-speed Wi-Fi, or a hotspot from another device.

It should not be necessary to enable Secure Password Authentication (SPA); however, if you encounter errors, you may resolve them by enabling this setting.
Suppose you have multiple email accounts running in your other email App. In that case, you may find those create errors when checking the server automatically while connected to DataHub Wi-Fi. Please cancel or ignore these.
Similarly, if connected to DataHub Wi-Fi, you are asked to enter the username and password for your PredictMail account again; you may need to either re-enter these, click the X or cancel buttons.
