To set up your Internet Mail account, select "Yes" and click "Next." Select "Create a new Internet mail account" and click "Next." Your Display name is your choice (see example on screen). Click "Next." Your e-mail address is your username@btconline.net (lowercase with no spaces). Click "Next." Your incoming mail server is a POP3 server, and your Incoming (POP3) server is smtp.btconline.net. Your Outgoing mail (SMTP) server is mail.btconline.net.
