Email Settings

These settings depend on the email service that you want to use. It may be the service provided by your internet service provider or a service provided by Google (gMail), Hotmail or similar.

If provided by your internet service provider -
- your email address will be of the form my.name@internetprovider.com.
- your POP/SMTP Server name will be of the form mail.internetprovider.com.
- there is no need to enter anything in the SSL Port field.
- your login name and password are the same as you would normally use to log on to your email account.

If you want to send using your gMail, Hotmail or similar account -
- your email address will be of the form my.name@serviceprovider.com.
- your POP/SMTP Server name will be of the form smtp.serviceprovider.com.
- the SSL Port field value is whatever your service provider specify for this purpose.
- with the exception of gMail, your login name and password are the same as you would normally use to log on to your email account.
- for gMail your login name is your usual login name and the password is a specially generated 'app password' (see below).
This information is saved on your computer and used for sending the emails that you create.
