4) This next window is where you type in your Real Name and Email address. When completed, press Next.

5) In the Server Information window, leave POP selected.
If you have a bcinternet.net e-mail address, enter mail.bcinternet.net for the Incoming Server, and smtp.bcinternet.net for the Outgoing Server.
If you have a bcwireless.com e-mail address, enter mail.bcwireless.com for the Incoming Server, and smtp.bcwireless.com for the Outgoing Server.
Press Next.

6) Enter your e-mail username in the Incoming User Name field. Leave the Outgoing User Name field set to whatever it shows. This will be disabled later. Press Next.

7) The Account Name field can be left as-is or you may change it if desired. This is for your reference only.

8) Press Finish on this window after you verify everything is correct. If you made any mistakes, press the Back button as many times as you need to.

9) Finally you will be brought back to the Account Settings window.
Here you must click on Outgoing Server (SMTP) on the left navigational pane. Press the Edit button to the right.
Note: If the Edit button isn't accessible, click on Server Settings on the left, then click back on Outgoing Server (SMTP) again. This should now allow access to the Edit button.

On the SMTP Server window, uncheck Use name and password. You can leave the Description blank if you would like. Press OK.

You will be brought back to the Account Settings window once again. Press OK and you have completed e-mail setup.
You're Done!
