Step 3. Choose "POP or IMAP". Click "Next".

Step 3. In the POP and IMAP account settings, fill in your "User Information", "Server Information" and "Login Information". Then click the "More Settings" button.

Step 4. Go to the "Outgoing Server" tab. Enable "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" and "Use same settings as my incoming mail server".
