Server	smtp.aa.net.uk	This is the server used for sending email from you to anyone else.
Port	587	Use 587, but port 25 can be used as an alternative if required.
Security	STARTTLS	We strongly suggest using STARTTLS
Authentication	Optional	If you are sending from outside an AAISP connection, then you will need to use your mailbox username and password to authenticate. In this case you will need to enable STARTTLS
Incoming email settings (Receiving email) Read more...
Type	IMAP or POP3	We recommend IMAP on port 993 but you can also use POP3 on 995. IMAP is ideal when using many computers/phones to access email. Read more here.
Port	IMAP: 993, POP3: 995	Due to security and privacy consideration we do not allow connections to POP3 on port 110 and IMAP on 143
Server	mail.aa.net.uk	This is the server used for retrieving email.
Username	mailbox@example.com	This is the username to use when getting email and is just your email address. This can also be used as an outgoing mail username if you need one. (Case sensitive)
Password	********	The password you set on the mailbox. (Case sensitive)
Security	SSL/TLS	You have to enable SSL/TLS
