2. Click E-mail Accounts

3. Put the dot in Add a new e-mail account

4. Click Next

3. Put the dot in POP3

4. Click Next

5. Enter the information it is requesting (You will need to get the pop3 and SMTP information from your internet provider (ISP). Most ISP's have the information on their website for you to get it)for example
   1. Bellsouth.net has mail.bellsouth.net for the POP3 and SMTP
6. Most email accounts do not require Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) to be checked. Unless directed by your ISP, leave this unchecked.
7. Click on Test Account Settings
8. Some accounts need further settings setup (most accounts don't) If yours does, then click on More settings. (Check with your ISP on what needs to be checked here)

9. If the test was successful click Next
