Bell Sympatico settings

[Lana]

Hello all,

I'm having problems setting up the email app.  Incoming server is okay but I get an error for the outgoing server.  I have checked with Bell as to their settings - but they say, of course, they do not support other email clients.  Anyone out there successfully set up with Bell carrier in Canada?  Many thanks.

It was the 'TLS' setting!  I had SSL.  Thank you!  All is well.
