Incoming mail server

Outgoing mail server

Same as incoming server - mail.digitalfundi.com

Alternatives for outgoing server Some users have to use their local outgoing mail server.
eg, Arusha based people must use Habari, and satellite users may elect to use iway.

Authentication

is Required – set it to use “same as incoming”.
(Should be obvious in Outlook, ask if you need more help)

Advanced

Default port numbers are 110 (incoming) and 25 (outgoing).
If port 25 is blocked by your ISP, try port 26.
Any options for encryption (SSL) should be unchecked.

Please do not check the option "Leave a copy of messgaes on the server".
