For e-mail accounts, you'll need to know the type of e-mail server you use (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP), your account name and password, the name of the incoming e-mail server and, for POP3 and IMAP, the name of an outgoing e-mail server.

BTW, it is possible have different settings for each account if necessary (e.g. if the wifes account is with a different ISP)
However, 99% of the time you MUST send email using the outgoing server of the ISP you are connected via, so you cannot send mail out on BTO's servers if you have connected via Freeserve, and vice versa.
