You need to get that info from your ISP. Howerver, there's a good chance the mail server might be called 'mail.yourispsname.com' or perhaps just 'yourispsname.com' or something.
Your ISP might have a web page telling you how to set up your mail.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Seems to have worked. Thanks!

Not a question, just a rant. I went to Circuit City and bought an external hard drive enclosure (not the cheapest option, but available RIGHT NOW), and....I don't have a screwdriver that will get it open to put the damn thing in. My Philips-head is too fat, and my skinny flat-head is too wide. And the nearest hardware store isn't open on Sundays.
I was feeling so productive, too. Oh well.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Got a dollar store? A wal-mart, etc, too.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Jess, can you slip a dime into the slot?

My neighborhood is mostly small family-owned businesses, and very little is open on Sundays.

Nope -- the screws are set into holes smaller than a pencil-width (that's what I mean by the Philips-head being too fat -- I literally can't fit it into the hole where the screws are). I need a skinny Philips-head screwdriver, and I can't get one until tomorrow.
I even tried one of my eyeglass-fixing screwdrivers, but the head was too small. I'm like the Goldilocks of screwdrivers here.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
It's asking me for the names of my incoming and outgoing mail server.
The outgoing is often smtp.yourISP.com

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I could lend you a screwdriver.

Hee! Thanks, but I can wait. It's probably something that'll be useful to have anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know if anyone here reads Computerworld's Shark Tank, but I just can't get enough of it -- lots of tales of clueless IT users, often management with pointless decisions.
