    You need to check with your ISP if you don't understand your mail setup. Usually, this information is located in the control panel settings ("Mail Settings") and they will list a server name, port, and allow you to configure mail usernames/password to use with your program.

    Specifically, "server name" refers to the DNS name or IP address of a machine that is running a mail daemon to send and receive email via POP3 or IMAP protocols. You need to know where your machine is and what it is called.
