Enter Mail Server Data

Click on the "Mail Server" tab of the control applet. The screen will look like this:

Enter the names of the outgoing (SMTP)and incoming (POP3) mail servers into their respective "Server Name" fields. You can also enter their IP addresses into the "Server Name" fields. This is not recommended, as the server IP addresses may change occassionally (and without notice.)

If you have a functioning Internet email connection (highly recommended), the setup program will automatically obtain the SMTP and POP3 server names from the mail client configuration and enter them here. (Currently, this feature is available only for Outlook Express.) The setup assumes these are the servers you want to use, but you do not have to accept them. You can enter any servers you want. If these fields are left blank, it means the setup could not reliably determine the correct servers. You have to manually copy this information from your current mail client configuration. Enter the numbers of server ports per your existing mail setup.

The server "IP Address" fields show read-only values. The mail proxy performs name lookup with the server names and stores the resulting IP addresses. If the DNS (name) server is not available (down), the proxy uses these addresses to establish connections, thus improving reliability of operation. These values are for your information only. You cannot change them.
