    My mac has set up my btinternet email account in outlook 2011 automatically.
    I can receive emails but i cannot send any.
    What should I have in the outgoing server box.
    It says smtp.02.co.uk but I’m not sure that’s correct.
    Thanks in advance

    As a rule of thumb,

    Your incoming (pop3) mail server is that belonging to your mail provider.

    Your outgoing (smtp) mail server is that belonging to your ISP.

    (An alternate configuration using a different smtp server will require some combination of authorisation, secure connections and weird ports dictated by that domain.)

    If it’s a Yahoo account, I’d suggest webmail. (-:

    Sorry misread your post.

    I used this IIRC when setting up the Mother In Laws.
