Installation

Upload and Activate

In your WordPress admin, go to WP Admin > Plugins > Add New Plugin.
Click Upload Plugin and select the nimbly-mail.zip file you downloaded.
Click Install Now, then click Activate Plugin.

Tip: If you are installing on a staging or local environment, you can also unzip the file directly into wp-content/plugins/nimbly-mail/ and then activate via the Plugins screen.

Setup Wizard

The setup wizard launches automatically the first time you activate NimblyMail. It walks you through the five steps needed to get email delivery working:

Step	What You Do
Welcome	NimblyMail scans for existing SMTP plugins. Import their settings with one click, or start fresh.
Sender	Enter the From Email address and From Name that will appear on outgoing emails.
Mailer	Choose your email provider from the six available options.
Configure	Enter the credentials for your chosen provider (skipped automatically when PHP Mail is selected).
Test	Send a test email to confirm delivery is working before you finish.
Done	Review your configuration summary and navigate to the Dashboard, Settings, or Email Logs.

For a detailed step-by-step walkthrough, see Setup Wizard.

Tip: You can re-launch the wizard at any time from WP Admin > NimblyMail > Settings > Misc > Launch Setup Wizard.
