2. Type the relevant host and port numbers in the boxes provided.
   
   
   
   
3. Select Use secure connection (STARTTLS) to establish a secure connection to an online mail service like Gmail.
4. If the server requires authentication, tick the Server requires authentication check box, then type the username and password details in the fields provided.
5. Click Test settings to test that the entered details are correct.
6. If successful, click OK.

• To enable a report:
