Well there could be several reasons for this. You might not be connected to the internet. Or your mail settings might be wrong. Possibly you are using the wrong type of authentication. Your e-mail provider can tell you how to set those. or you might be using the wrong pass word. But now you know where to go on the computer to change those

Can you help with this problem?
