Changing your SMTP server settings

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

Step Two: Internet Accounts
Select the "Mail" tab and double-click the email account that is hosted by NetHost.

Step Three: Properties
Now select the "Servers" tab and make the changes as listed below in red. The main change is to change your Outgoing mail (SMTP) server from mail.yourdomain.co.nz to smtp.xtra.co.nz

You must also ensure the bottom checkbox (My server requires authentication) is unticked.

You are done!

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