    It looks like you could be using the wrong mail server. Your e-mail address will look something like mail@host.com whereas the mail server will be something like mail.host.com (the . period symbol instead of an @ symbol).

    Give that a try and see if it works :).

    Wow, that looks awfully complicated for a "very user-friendly operating system!"
