This is the email address for the account you are using to send messages.  In most cases this should be the same email address as the one used for Account Username.

Use an email service preset

Use the drop-down list to select an email service provider, then click the Apply Preset button.  This will change the settings to suit the provider you are using.  All you need to do then is enter your account details (eg. Account Username/Email Address and Password).

 

These are settings we have tested, or that have been tested by customers, and are known to work.  More presets will be added over time.  If you are using an email provider not listed and you have settings that have been proven to work, please let us know and we'll add them.
