7) Enter your domain name as the Incoming (POP3) Server.

Example: <yourdomainname.com>

For the Outgoing (SMTP) Server, we recommend that you use your ISP's SMTP Server since this configuration works best.  Most ISP's offer an SMTP Server free with their dial-up service and all you need to do is call them to find out what that SMTP Server name is.

If your ISP does not offer an SMTP Server (like AOL), then you can use your domain name as the Outgoing (SMTP) Server.

Example: <yourdomainname.com>

But, when using your domain name as the SMTP server, you must always check for mail before being allowed to send mail (POP before SMTP).
