SMTP authentication is required to send e-mail. Without this enabled, you will receive errors when trying to send e-mail. SMTP authentication helps deter would-be spammers from spamming you.
Highlight Outgoing Server (SMTP).
To the right, you'll see three fields: Server Name, Port, and User Name.
Server Name = The Outgoing (SMTP) mail server usually follows this format: mail.ispname.com (or .net). Replace the "ispname.com (or .net)" with your ISP's name.
Port = The default port number is perfect: 25.
Check the box Use name and password.
User Name = Enter your e-mail username (everything before the @).
Click the Advanced button.
The Advanced Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings window appears.
Ensure that only one outgoing mail server is entered. Netscape, as well as most e-mail clients, has difficulty with more than one outgoing mail server. Delete any obsolete mail servers.
Important: Verify that there are no blank servers entered. I there are any, you would be able to highlight the server even though the address is not present.
Click OK when finished and close all other windows.
