• Enter the SMTP server name of your email service provider, SMTP Port and your email address in the respective fields. The same email address will be used for both sender and recipient address for sending the photograph taken by your device.

• If your SMTP server requires user authentication for sending mails, select the check box 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication' and enter your username and email password in the respective fields.

Tip: In most of the cases, your username would be the string that comes before @ in your email address. If your email address is yourname@example.com, your username is 'yourname'. It may differ depending on the configuration of the mail server.

The table below provides the SMTP server and port for popular mail account types:

Mail Account	SMTP Server	SMTP Port	Requires SMTP Authentication?
Hotmail	smtp.live.com	25	Yes
Gmail	smtp.gmail.com	587	Yes
Yahoo	smtp.mail.yahoo.com	25	Yes
MSN	smtp.email.msn.com	25	Yes
163	smtp.163.com	25	Yes
QQ	smtp.qq.com	25	Yes

If your mail account is not listed, then you will need to request this information from your ISP/email service provider. You can get the SMTP address/port by sending an email request their support department. Alternatively, if you visit your ISP’s website and type ‘SMTP Address’ in their search box it will often lead right to the info you need.

• Click OK to save your settings. CMS will verify your account settings and send a confirmation mail to your mail account.
