User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Smart Explorer v6.0 ( Evaluation Expired ))

When trying to start an email account I get as far as the "name of incoming 
server" and can go no further. My server is "mail.fidnet.com" but when I type 
this in I get a message "Please enter a valid hostname." I tried entering 
Fidnet.com, the name of the company I deal with, but this doesn't work. I tried 
with my full email address, still no go.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open wizzard for new email account
2.fill in name and email address
3.click on POP
4.Fill in name of incoming server

Actual Results:  
Unable to go any further do to receiving an alert message "enter valid host 
name".

Expected Results:  
It should just work. Or maybe I'm missing something due to not enough 
information in the instructiions for this item.

Some of the information in the instructions is a little out of wack. They say 
to click on "Edit-email/News groups" to start email account wizzard. This may 
work once an account has been opened but, when starting the first account I had 
to go to the "Window" tab to get started.
