Below is an example of the Change E-mail Account screen.

There are two changes to make on this screen. First, under the Server Information heading you may
need to change the value listed for

Change the outgoing mail server to mail.homefinder.org unless your Internet Provider is SBC If
your Internet Provider is SBC use their outgoing mail server listed in the table below.

This will open up the Internet E-mail Settings window. Click on the Outgoing Server tab.
If you're using mail.homefinder.org
as your outgoing mail server make sure that the My outgoing server (SMTP
) requires authentication checkbox is checked
and the Use same settings as my incoming mail server radio button is selected.

If you're not using mail.homefinder.org as the outgoing mail server select the Log on using radio button, and enter the
User name and Password provided by your Internet Service Provider as shown below.
Click OK

marked Test Account Settings in the
