• Make sure the Username is your Internode username. Do not include @internode.on.net

• Make sure that both the Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server are mail.internode.on.net
• Make sure that SSL is on for both the Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server.
• Make sure the checkbox next to Take account online is selected.
