 ===== Client Configuration =====
-Now that the server is running, you are ready to configure your E-mail clients. Create a new account, using the "manual" options of your E-mail client. Both the IMAP and SMTP server will be the domain name or IP address of your droplet, depending on what you used for the Common Name on your SSL certificate. The username for IMAP and SMTP will both be your E-mail address without the domain name. Example: Your E-mail is <bob@yourcompany.com>, so your username is bob. Make sure both IMAP and SMTP are set to use SSL/TLS and not STARTTLS.
+Now that the server is running, you are ready to configure your E-mail clients.
-You will get warnings from your E-mail clients because you are using a self-signed certificate. It is safe to accept the certificate in this case, because you are the one who created it.
