Hello,

A few months ago I purchased a domain name and POP boxes with 123reg.co.uk. I'm finally getting round to setting it up but have a few problems. I'm trying to get Outlook to access emails from chris@camcadsolutions.com but I don't know what to put for the SMTP server. 123reg say "The outbound or SMTP server settings can remain the same (these are normally provided by your access provider or your network administrator)" but the box in outlook in blank.

Not very good at all this website/email stuff...anybody out there know what I'm doing wrong?

My ISP is BT. How would I go about getting the SMTP server?

Cheers btw.
