Tab name: ServersMy incoming mail server is aPOP3server.
Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server: mail.coinet.comOutgoing mail (SMTP) server: mail.coinet.com
NOTE: If you are using anti-virus software the "Incoming mail"
and/or the "Outgoing mail" may be set to something else.
This is to redirect your mail to your anti-virus software
so it can be checked for viruses. If your mail is working
properly, do not change those settings.
However, if you are having trouble sending or receiving
email then you may temporarily bypass the anti-virus
software by changing the "Incoming mail" and/or the
"Outgoing mail" to mail.coinet.com. If this helps then
your email problem is with your anti-virus software.
