5 If you selected Other as the mail service provider, define
the following settings for incoming mail:
Account type — Select the mail protocol (POP3 or IMAP4)
recommended by your mail service provider. IMAP4 is
more modern and typically enables more functionality.
Some functionality may be restricted with POP3.
You cannot change this setting after you save the account
settings or exit the wizard.
Incoming server — Enter the host name or IP address
of the POP3 or IMAP4 server that receives your mail.
Secure authentication — Set the system to use secure
authentication.
If you do not use secure connections, it is strongly
recommended that you enable secure authentication.
For information on the supported methods, contact your
mail service provider.
Secure connection — Define the security setting for
incoming messages.
If you access your mail over a wireless LAN (WLAN), it is
strongly recommended that you use secure connections.
For information on the supported secure connections,
contact your mail service provider.
Tip: Usually, the incoming mailbox servers (POP3 or
IMAP4) are provided by your mail service provider, and
the outgoing mail server (SMTP) is provided by your
internet service provider. If these service providers are
different, you may have different passwords and security
settings for incoming and outgoing messages.
6 Simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) servers are used
when sending mail. To send mail, you must define the
SMTP host name or IP address that you obtain from the
mail service provider of the connection you use.
