Hello Donna, The entry for SMTP identifies the mail server that you're using to send outgoing mail. It will be specific to the service you use. For MobileMe, it might have a name like "smtp.me.com" or "smtp.mac.com". For gmail, it might be "smtp.gmail.com" Usually, this information is provided to you by your internet service provider or your system administrator.
