Setting up an SMTP server

You can set up and alter the details of your SMTP server at any time, including the path the recycle bin and

2. Enter the IP address or name of your SMTP server in the SMTP Server Info field.

5. Enter the interval, in seconds, for how long the SMTP server will process mail on the spool path in the

Mail Timer field.
