Mail Account is the name that you will use to keep track of this account. You can make up anything you like, make it descriptive. Nobody else will see this.
Name will show up when you send email instead of your email address. Depending on the email program your receiver is using, they may just SEE your name, but they will be able to reply to your email address with no trouble.
Organization is optional. You may wish to put your company name in here.
E-mail address is, of course, your email address.
Reply address is optional. If you would like people to reply to a different email address than the one you used to send your email you would enter that here.
Incoming mail (POP3) is always mail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing mail (SMTP) is always mail.yourdomain.com
Account name is your user name (same as your email address)
Password is your password.
Leave all the other settings alone. If you have a firewall or other security measures in place that require you to fiddle with port settings and SSL, check with your system administrator to get the right settings.
Click OK to save everything and you're ready to send and receive email.
