The items we will check are the
Incoming settings
&Outgoing settings
-
Incoming settings
for POP accounts should read:
Server:pop.helpusell.com
Port:995
Security type:SSL/TLS
-
Incoming settings
for IMAP accounts should read:
Server:imap.helpusell.com
Port:993
Security type:SSL/TLS
-
Outgoing settings
should read:
Server:smtp.helpusell.com
Port:587
Security type:STARTTLS
(accept all certificates) - (Optional SSL Port)
Server:smtp.helpusell.com
Port:465
Security type:SSL/TLS

Either SMTP/Outgoing port above will work.
Usually the device will have already filled this in.
We are simply verifying settings here.
