4. Enter Your Server Names.

You may have to verify some of the wizard's questions. In particular, your POP server and SMTP server names are. Your pop server is mail.yourdomain.com and your SMTP server can be the one your ISP provides or mail.yourdomain.com. This information is essential if Outlook is to properly connect to your mail account for sending and retrieving mail.
