From the Tools menu, choose Accounts.

When the Accounts window opens, click on New.

If the below window appears, click on Assist Me.

NOTE: Depending upon your software, the window below may or may not appear. If it does not, continue to the next step.

Enter in your name as you would want it to appear on e-mail that you send out. Then click on the right arrow to continue.

Enter in the e-mail address that has been given to you by PortalMedia. Click on the right arrow to continue.

'POP' should be selected under the list of server choices. For both of the fields in this step, enter mail.portalmedia.com for your incoming and outgoing mail servers. Click on the right arrow to continue.

In this step, you will need to enter the Account ID and Password given to you by PortalMedia. If you do not want to type your password in every time you check your e-mail, be sure to check the option to save your password. Click on the right arrow to continue.

Give the account that you have just set up a name. In the example above, it's been named "My PortalMedia Account". Click on "Finish". (Just a few more steps to go!)

With the account you have just created, click on Edit.

When the edit window opens, click on the bar that says 'Click here for advanced sending options'.

With the sub-window that opens, ensure that 'SMTP server requires authentication' is checked, and that 'Use same settings as receiving mail server' is selected. Click on the box in the upper-right to close the sub-window, and click on OK to close the window.
