Step 5 - Make sure the account settings are correct, click Re-test then click Done.



Step 6 - Test the email account by sending an email from / to your email address (e.g. from john@yourdomain.net.au to john@yourdomain.net.au). If this device can receive mail, the incoming server settings are correct. If the device can send mail, the outgoing server settings are correct as well.
