The next page is where information about Centric’s servers is entered.  At the top of the page is the drop-down menu for e-mail server type.  The default of POP3 is the correct selection.  In both the incoming and outgoing mail server fields, type mail.centric.net. 

 Check the Outgoing server requires authentication option.

On the Internet Mail Logon page you must enter your e-mail username.  If your email address is @centric.net, your e-mail username is the part before the @ symbol (for example, if your email address was  customer@centric.net,  your username would be customer).  If your email address is on your own domain name, your e-mail username is your entire email address. 

After entering your username and password, click Next. 

Setup is now complete.  If you are not ready to download your email at this time select the Do not download e-mail at this time option.  If you are ready to connect to the Internet (or if you are already connected) and download your email leave that option unchecked.  Click Finish.
