                                                                                 - Host Name: mail.sampledomain.com             - Host Name: mail.sampledomain.com

Step - 4

                 * If you use IMAP, It is possible to enable the following services.                             * Select "Advanced"

Step - 5

                                * If you set IMAP connection you need to use the ports:  
                                                                                       - 993 (with SSL) or 143 (without SSL).                                                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                        - Please leave IMAP Path Prefix field empty.

Step - 6

                                          * If you chose POP3 you need to use the port - 995 (with SSL) or port - 110 (without SSL).

Step - 7

                     * In order to set up additional settings for Outgoing Server         Please select ports and protocols you want to use for Outgoing Server (SMTP):
                        you will need to return to the previous menu (Account Info)                     - 465 - (with SSL) or 26/587(without SSL).                                                                                                                                                                  
               and then to enter Outgoing Mail Server via clicking on Host name of the server.          - We don't suggest port 25 as it is common for ISP's to block it. 
                                                                                                        - Authentication: Password

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.
