· the name of your SMTP server
· the name of your POP server, and
· your username and password.
SMTP is your outgoing mail setting and POP is your incoming mail setting. To obtain this information you will need to consult the documentation your Internet Service Provider supplied you with when you signed up for an email account, or you can get this information from your email client. Select your client to find out how to do this:
