SMTP Server
eMail2Pop offers two options for your outgoing mail.  Both options send your mail through the AOL server and do not rely on other services.
* Choose smtp.aol.com for best mail compatibility and accurate mail sending.  AOL's mail server may be unavailable once in a while or cause your mail to be delivered slower than usual.  Note that AOL will tag your outgoing message with your actual internet IP address.  If you receive a connection failure, go to your account's properties and change the SMTP port number from 25 to 587.
* Choose localhost if you would like eMail2Pop to send all your mail for you.  Use this option if the above server smtp.aol.com fails, is unavailable, or if your non-AOL ISP blocks access to the AOL SMTP server.  This option also provides additional privacy by hiding your actual internet IP address.
