For Your Name make sure your name is entered, for E-mail Address make sure your provided e-mail address is entered. In the User Name field make sure your user name has been entered (which is your e-mail address) and in the Password field re-type your password to ensure it's entered correctly. For Incoming mail server (POP3) ensure that it's entered as mail.your-domain.com. Note that your-domain.com is not the actual address - please insert your actual domain name.  For Outgoing mail server (SMTP) make sure it's set to mail.your-domain.com.
