Different email providers have different Mail Servers and, very often, different settings. You need to check the settings with your own email provider. Your provider is likely to have a help page that lists the explicit settings.


If you are experiencing difficulties, you might find it far simpler to add a new account from scratch - and allow the setup wizard to work out the settings for you.
