You may be asked for outgoing server as well, usually this is the same server (mail.yourdomain.com), press next.
Now you are asked to fill in your user name for your email provider, for example (xxxx@yourdomain.com), press next.
Now you are asked what you would like to call this account, for example (Work, Home, or your name) press next.
You will get a summary, check your information, and if everything is OK press finish.
Fill the password to your email account and choose “remember the password”. Press OK.
From the main menu choose > Tools > Account Settings.
