Click Finish to close the wizard and the following window should come back up:
Make sure the account you just set up is highlighted, click the button for Set as Default, and then click the button for Properties. The following window comes up:
Under the General tab verify that the information is correct.

Click on the Servers tab:
Verify that the information is correct, check the box next to My server requires authentication, and click on the Settings... button. The following dialog box pops up:
Select the radio button next to Log on using and fill in the following information:
|Account name||Your account name is username%yourdomain.com|
