Mail Server Address

Enter here address of the computer where AEP is installed. If AEP and the mail client are installed on the same computer, you can use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as mail server address.

Login Name

Login name is to be set as follows:

Login name for connection to an external mail server/address of an external mail server

For example, for john@mail.yahoo.com login name will be john/pop.mail.yahoo.com
