Button and then again on Server tab, you could verify the settings.) |

Step 3:
Once you have the account set up, you will want to make sure
that it is working properly. To do this, send a test message
to yourself or a friend. Give the message a few minutes and
then check to see if it has arrived. If your email does not
appear to be working, you may want to contact technical support.
