4. On the Internet E-mail Settings page, click the More Settings... button located in the bottom right corner of the window
5. Select the Outgoing Server tab, and put a check in the box labelled My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication. Then, select Use same settings as my incoming mail server, and click OK to return to the previous screen
7. On the Advanced tab, enter 465 in the Outgoing mail (SMTP) port number field and 995 in the Incoming mail (POP3) field.  For both, click This server requires a secure connection (SSL).
