go back and check your settings and check the troubleshooting section
in this manual. Click on 'Close' to continue.
Note: If
the test does not 'Find outgoing mailserver' or cannot 'Send a test e-mail
message' and all of your settings look correct then you should check with
the provider of your Internet connection. Many cable, telephone and dial-up
Internet providers block connections to remote outgoing mailservers (SMTP)
to prevent spamming from their networks. If so, you will need to use your
internet provider's outgoing mailserver. Get the name of the mailserver
and enter it in the 'Outgoing mail server' text box. Then try the test
again.
