Use smtp.fsu.edu as your outgoing mail server.
Then click Next.

6) Your FSUID username should already appear in the Account Name box.
Type in your FSUID password into the password box, ONLY if you want your password to be saved on the computer you are setting up.
Then click Next.

7) Now click Finish

8) There are still two settings that do not get set with the Account Wizard. So, click on the Tools menu and then click Accounts...

Highlight the account you just created (named imap.fsu.edu by default) and click on Properties.

10) Click on the Servers tab.
In the Outgoing Mail Server section, check the box next to My server requires authentication. Then click on Settings....

11) Select Use same settings as my incoming mail server and everything else will be greyed out.
Now click on OK.
