Server Port

The default is 110 for POP and 143 for IMAP servers. If you
are not sure about the correct port number, check with your
mail server administrator.
Whether this
account requires
APOP
authentication
(POP accounts
only)
Selecting this check box encrypts your username and
password when traveling over the network. Some services
require APOP to work properly, while others do not work
properly if APOP is used. If you aren’t sure if your ISP or
web e-mail provider supports APOP, check with your e-mail
provider. “Adding APOP to an account” later in this chapter.
Outgoing Mail
Server
Enter the name of your outgoing (SMTP) mail server, such as
smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
Outgoing Mail
Server Port
Number
The default is 25, the port number most SMTP servers use. If
you are not sure about the correct port number, check with
your mail server administrator.
Whether this
account requires
ESMTP
authentication
Select this check box if the outgoing server (SMTP) requires
authentication. Check with your system administrator
before selecting this option. See “Adding ESMTP to an
account” later in this chapter for information. If you select
this option, username and password fields appear. These
fields are already filled in based on the account information
you entered previously. In most cases, the information
displayed is correct; however, occasionally your
authentication username and/or password is different from
your account username or password. Check with your
e-mail service provider for authentication username and
password information.
If you need to enter new information, enter a username
and/or tap the Password box and enter a password, and
then tap OK.
