1. Open Outlook Express or Entourage and go to the menu item Tools and choose Accounts.

2. Next, select the account that you have hosted with Tech Superpowers. If you have multiple accounts that require authentication, you will need to edit them one at a time.

With the account name selected (highlighted), click on Edit. This will open the window shown below.

3. On the bottom of the page, you will see "Click here for advanced sending options". Click on this button, and the additional section will open. See below.

4. Now, put a check mark in the box for SMTP server requires authentication and make sure "Use same settings as incoming mail server" is selected.

That's it! Now your outgoing email should go out without any errors, delays, or having to check your mail first.
