Note: If the test does not 'Find outgoing mailserver' or cannot 'Send a test e-mail message' and all of your settings look correct then you should check with the provider of your Internet connection. Many cable, telephone and dial-up Internet providers block connections to remote outgoing mailservers (SMTP) to prevent spamming from their networks. If so, you will need to use your internet provider's outgoing mailserver. Get the name of the mailserver and enter it in the 'Outgoing mail server' text box. Then try the test again.
