  5. Select the check box adjacent to Manually configure server settings for e-mail account and then click Next.
  6. Select an incoming mail server as either POP3 / IMAP
    • Incoming server: You can obtain this information from your webmail interface by logging in at the URL of the formhttp://webmail.yourdomainname.com and going to Settings >> Forwarding and POP/IMAP settings
    • Login ID: Enter your email address (for example: user@somedomainname.com) as the Login ID.

IMPORTANT
Usually, the port used for the Outgoing Mail Server/SMTP Service is 25. However, there might be a situation where your ISP might be blocking the use of port 25 for SMTP service. Many ISPs block port 25 in order to minimize the amount of spam sent using their network. If you are facing issues sending mails using the default port 25, you can confirm with your ISP whether port 25 is indeed blocked by them.

To circumvent this, you can use an alternate port 587 for sending mails if port 25 is blocked. Here's how:
a) In Windows Mail, on the Tools menu, click Accounts
b) In the Internet Accounts window, select your account and then click Properties
c) This will bring up the account Properties window. Click on the Advanced tab
d) In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) field, replace the default port number 25 with the alternate port number 587
e) Click OK to save the changes
