E-mail Address

Use the software keyboard to enter the TV’s dedicated e-mail address (different from your personal e-mail address). You will send e-mails to this address to add, modify, or delete schedules and reminders.

POP3 Server Address

Use the software keyboard to enter the POP3 server address that hosts the TV’s e-mail account.

Note: The TV does not support encrypted e-mail.

POP3 Port Number

Denotes the port number used by the user’s POP3 (incoming mail) server. This is set to 110 by default.

POP3 User Name

Use the software keyboard to enter the TV’s e-mail account login. Depending on your ISP, this may be the entire e-mail address or just the characters in the e-mail address before the “@” sign.

POP3 Password

Use the software keyboard to enter the password for the TV’s e-mail account.

Note: To help protect your other personal Internet or e-mail accounts, create a password that is significantly different from any of your usual passwords and security PINs (e.g., different from your e-mail password, banking log-ons, social security code, etc.).

SMTP Server Address

Use the software keyboard to enter the SMTP mail server associated with the TV’s e-mail account. (The TV will use this server for sending reply e-mails to your personal e-mail account.)

SMTP Port Number

Denotes the port number used by the user’s SMTP (outgoing mail) server. This is set to 25 by default. Some ISPs block this port to prevent mail relay attacks and specify an alternate port.

SMTP Authentication

This field controls the SMTP authentication feature, and is set to Off by default. Setting this to “Same as POP” fills the SMTP Username and SMTP Password fields with the data filled in the “POP3 User Name” and “POP3 Password” fields. Select “Different” if the username and password for your outgoing (SMTP) mail server are different from your incoming (POP3) mail server.

SMTP User Name

This field holds the user name required by the SMTP (outgoing email) server. This is typically the same as the “POP3 User Name” field, but may be different depending on the ISP/SMTP server used. This field is enabled only if SMTP authentication field above is set to “Different.”

SMTP Password

This field holds the password required by the SMTP server. This is typically the same as the “POP3 Password” field used to receive e-mails, but may be different depending on the ISP/ SMTP server used. This field is enabled only if SMTP authentication field (described above) is set to “Different.”

Note: There are several techniques used for SMTP authentication by e-mail providers. Only the most commonly used techniques (Network address-based, “POP before SMTP,” and “AUTH LOGIN”) are provided for your TV e-mail scheduler. SSL and TLS are currently not supported.
