E-mail: Connection (Optional)

		To set further options such as Firewalls and Proxy servers:
		Click the Advanced view button
		POP Port	Optional
		This is the port, or channel, that is used to send and receive POP commands. The default value is 110. If you have a POP Firewall in place then the firewall may be using port 110 in which case the administrator will have allocated a different port number for the POP commands.
		Example: 110
		POP Firewall Type	Optional
		We support three types of firewall: SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and Proxy Server. SOCKS4 is a way of communicating with the e-mail server that does not require any level of security. SOCKS5 is the same except it does require security in the form of a password. A Proxy Server is software that acts as a gateway between you and the internet. Rather than having direct access to the internet (like you do when you dial in using a modem), the Proxy Server connects for you. This gives an additional level of security and protection.
		Example: Proxy Server
		POP Firewall Host	Optional
		This is the address of the firewall on the network. You must connect to the firewall, and then the firewall allows you through and onto the internet (if you pass the security).
		Examples: popfirewall.localnetwork.com 128.0.44.255
		POP Firewall Username	Optional
		If you have selected a POP Firewall then you need to identify yourself in order to pass through it. The POP Firewall username may be the name that you use when you log Windows onto the local network, or the same name that you use to access your POP host, or it may be a totally different name purely for the firewall. This is not required for SOCKS4.
		Examples: jennifercox jencox69 jennifercoxfirewall
		POP Firewall Password	Optional
		If you have selected a POP Firewall then you will have a password that matches your POP Firewall Username that proves to the POP Firewall that you are authorised to pass through it. This is not required for SOCKS4.
		Example: centralperk
		POP Firewall Port	Optional
		If you have selected a POP Firewall then the firewall will have it's own port. For a Proxy Server this is usually the same port number as the POP Port (110), for SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 it is usually 1080.
		Example: 110
		SMTP Connection	Optional
		When you send e-mail there are two ways to connect to the server; authenticated and unauthenticated. Some servers insist that you connect to them using a specific dial-up connection or phone number, to prove that you are authorised to access the server. Others require your password, and this is known as an ESMTP log-in. If you are having problems when sending e-mail, such as a message saying that you are not authorised to connect to the server, you probably need to change this setting to ESMTP.
		Examples: SMTP ESMTP - Authorised login
		SMTP Port	Optional
		This is the port, or channel, that is used to send and receive SMTP commands. The default value is 25. If you have an SMTP Firewall in place then the firewall may be using port 25 in which case the administrator will have allocated a different port number for the SMTP commands.
		Example: 25
		SMTP Firewall Type	Optional
		(Same choices as POP Firewall Type)
		Example: SOCKS5
		SMTP Firewall Host	Optional
		(Same as POP Firewall Host)
		Examples: smtpfirewall.localnetwork.com 128.0.44.255
		SMTP Firewall Username	Optional
		If you have selected an SMTP Firewall then you need to identify yourself in order to pass through it. The SMTP Firewall username may be the name that you use when you log Windows onto the local network, or the same name that you use to access your SMTP host, or it may be a totally different name purely for the firewall. This is not required for SOCKS4.
		Examples: jennifercox jencox69 jennifercoxfirewall
		SMTP Firewall Password	Optional
		If you have selected an SMTP Firewall then you will have a password that matches your SMTP Firewall Username that proves to the SMTP Firewall that you are authorised to pass through it. This is not required for SOCKS4.
		Example: centralperk
		SMTP Firewall Port	Optional
		If you have selected an SMTP Firewall then the firewall will have it's own port. For a Proxy Server this is usually the same port number as the SMTP Port (25), for SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 it is usually 1080.
		Example: 25
