4. Under the User Information area, type the name that you want others to see when you send a message, in the Your Name field. Incase you selected POP3 as the incoming mail server in the above step, enter the Incoming mail server as pop.yourdomainname.com. If you selected IMAP as the incoming mail server, then the mail server you need to use is imap.yourdomainname.com. The SMTP server address in any case will be entered as smtp.yourdomainname.com. Type your complete email address and the corresponding password in the User Name and Password boxes respectively under Logon Information.

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, Gossimer allows you to use an alternate port 2525 for sending mails if port 25 is blocked -

a. In Microsoft Outlook 2003, on the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
