Changing your SMTP server settings

Step One
Click "Tools" from the menubar then select "Email Accounts" from the drop-down menu.

Step Two: Email Accounts
Select the "View or change existing e-mail accounts" checkbox and click "Next".

Step Three: Properties
Now you can make the change as listed below in red. You must change your Outgoing mail server (SMTP) from mail.yourdomain.co.nz to smtp.xtra.co.nz

Once you have made that change click the "More Settings" button.

Step Four: More Setting
Lasty, click the "Outgoing server" tab and ensure it looks as below. If it doesn't simply "untick" the top checkbox. You can then click "OK", and "Next".

You have now updated the email account settings for that email account. If you have more than one NetHost hosted email account please repeat this process for each account.

We also suggest you send yourself, and someone else, a test message to ensure your new email settings are working correctly.
