Then enter 995 in the Port field. Next, in the SSL field, select the SSL\/TLS value. For Authentication, select Normal password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

8. Next,<\/strong> complete the Outgoing Mail Server as described below. In the Server address field, enter smtp.mybox.com. In the Port field, enter 587. Next, we mark the value of STARTTLS in the SSL field. For Authentication, select Normal password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.<\/strong> In the Username field, enter our e-mail address (e.g. j.smith@yourdomain.com)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.<\/strong> After configuring the mail server settings, click the “re-test” button and then “Done”.
