Figure 4-7: Entering e-mail address and password for another e-mail provider
•
Press Username to display a keyboard where you can enter the complete e-mail
address, then press OK when done.
•
Press Password to display a keyboard where you can enter the password, then press
OK when done.
•
Press Host Name to display a keyboard where you can enter the name of the server
address handling the outgoing mail. See chart below for some common e-mail
providers. If your provider is not listed, it can usually be found by searching online for
"SMTP host name <provider>", where provider is the host name e.g. Yahoo or AOL.
Press OK when done.
•
Press Server Port to display a keyboard where you can enter the port number used by
the email server. Searching online for host name will usually provide the port number for
that e-mail provider. In most cases, it's usually 465 (if SSL is enabled, see next bullet
point), or 587. See chart below for some examples. Press OK when done.
•
Enable SSL – you can select On or Off on the display. SSL provides encryption
security. Some e-mail providers require this set to ON. This will usually be indicated on
the same online search page that was used above. See the chart below for examples.
•
Press Save when all the information is entered and correct.
