This is completely optional, but for setting up your outgoing mail server these are the following settings: 
DSL Customers: 
  Description: Glis.net 
  Outgoing Mail Server: 576.glis.net 
  Check off "Use Authentication" 
  Username is your FULL EMAIL ADDRESS. 
  Insert your password. 
  Click Continue...
  
Dial-Up Customers: 
  Description: Glis.net 
  Outgoing Mail Server: 576.glis.net OR mail.glis.net 
  Check off "Use Authentication" only if using the 576.glis.net mail server. 
  Insert your username 
  Insert your password. 
  Click Continue...
  
*Note* IMAP is a substitute for the typical POP3. You will have to create a SMTP account of some kind in order to send mail when using the IMAP method of mail retrieval/viewing.
  
 
Double check the settings, and click "Create".
  
You are all done!
