Username: This is your email address
Password: Password to the email account being configured

Enter your Mail Server as the Outgoing e-mail server (SMTP)
Check Outgoing server requires authentication
Click 'Next' - Enter your email address into the E-mail username field
Enter your password into the Password field
Click 'Next' - Make sure 'Do not download my e-mail and folders at this time' checkbox is checked and click "Finish" button to return to your account list.
