Above are instructions for most major e-mail programs that will explain how to set your mail client for SMTP authenication. If your mail client isn't listed above please contact us so we mutually can try to figure out how to set up your mail client.

If you are using our Web Mail Client you do not need to do anything since you have already authenticated (you have "sent" your user-name and password) when you logged in. If you are connected via our dial-up service or our highspeed wireless service you will not have to do SMTP authentication, but there is no harm to enable it on your computer. It will not affect things one way or another.
