5. In the window that opens, click the Outgoing Server tab.

6. Now check the box labeled My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication. Be sure that Use same settings as my incoming mail server is chosen. Next, click the Advanced tab button.

7. In both the Outgoing server (SMTP) and the Incoming server (IMAP) section, be sure to select SSL from the drop-down menu. In the folders section, type in INBOX in the Root folder path: text field. (Note: the INBOX is case sensitive). Next, click the OK button.
