5. Next, click on "Internet Email" and enter the following information:
   
   E-mail address: Enter the E-mail address for the account here.
   Username: Enter the username here, it is equal to the E-mail address
   Password: Enter the corresponding password for the account.
   
   Account name: This name will be used in the application
   Send your messages with this name: This is the name as it will appear to the recipient.
   
   Server for incoming email: This is the mail server, by default this is mail.domeinnaam.nl
   Account type: Here you can choose between the different mail protocols, these are written in another article. Should you not know which one to use we recommend IMAP4.
   Server for outgoing mail: This is the outgoing mail server, by default this is the same as the incoming mail server.
   If you use different ports for the mail server you can specify which port it is by adding a colon with the port behind it, for example: "domainname.com:465".
   The default ports are as follows:
   
   

   Unsecured mail connection (incoming):

   • Unsecured connection - POP3: 110 (Uncheck the box: "Require SSL for incoming email")
   • Unsecured connection - IMAP: 143 (Uncheck the box: "Require SSL for incoming email")

   Secure mail connection (incoming):

   • Secure connection - POP3: 995 (Check the box: "Require SSL for incoming email")
   • Secure connection - IMAP: 993 (Check the box: "Require SSL for incoming mail").

   For outgoing mail:
   

   • Unsecured connection - SMTP: 587 (Uncheck the box: "Require SSL for outgoing mail.").
     
   • Secure connection - SMTP: 587 (Check the box: "Require SSL for outgoing mail").
     
   
   The next 2 options can be left checked. These are set correctly by default.
   The bottom 2 options are individually dependent for making a secure or unsecured connection, this is indicated by the ports as described above.
   
   
6. Then click on "Login" to use the mail application.
