                                                                                       - 993 (with SSL) or 143 (without SSL).

NOTE: You may get a message about "Secure Connection Failed"... just hit Continue (you'll likely then get the same message again, related to SMTP this time)... just hit Continue again.

Step Seven

After the account is setup, go back into the account.

Step Eight

Under the "Outgoing Mail Server" section select on "SMTP"

Step Nine

Under "Primary Mail Server", enter the following:

- Set Use SSL to ON

- Set Authentication to "Password"

- Change Server Port to 465

NOTE: If you are on a VPS Mail Server, and there is no SSL Certificate for your mail server, than you will keep SSL switched OFF

Select on the "SMTP" at the top-left to go back, then select "Email Address" at the top-left to go back once more.

Step Ten

Select "Advanced"

- Set "Use SSL" to ON

- Change Server Port to "993" for IMAP, "995" for POP.

Congratulations! Your new email account setup is complete. You may now re-enable your 'Wi-Fi' setting.
