settings, and connected to the appropriate network (LAN or
mobile network)

3. Send a test e-mail as described above in
“
Sending Test e-
mails
”
. Your PC will display diagnostic messages for each
step of the sending process. The last message will usually
indicate where the problem lies.
Most diagnostic messages are self-explanatory. Here are some
additional tips:
 “
Unable to resolve
‘
your smtp host address
’”
message when
using LAN e-mail sending method. Ensure that the gateway
and the primary and the secondary DNS are set correctly and
that there is connectivity to the internet or to your SMTP mail
host computer.

Messages starting with 3-digit numeric codes are generated
by the SMTP host computer and will indicate invalid sender,
recipient, etc. Your network administrator or ISP can supply
the correct settings.
