Account Information

To receive a push service mail you must provide your e-mail account information:

  1. Enter your e-mail address in the "E-mail address" field. This e-mail address will be used as both the return address and the recipient's address of the push service mail.
  2. Enter the password for your e-mail account and confirm it in the following field.

    Note:The FRITZ!Box stores information for a variety of email providers with information like their SMTP servers. If you have an email account with one of these providers, you may be prompted to enter additional information to set up an account.

  3. Enter the user name for the e-mail account specified above in the "E-mail user name" field.
  4. In the "SMTP server" field, enter the name of your provider's e-mail server (SMTP server).

    Some SMTP servers do not work on the default port (25). If this is the case for your SMTP server, the port number must be entered in this field.

    Example: The name of the SMTP server is smtp.de.post.net and the port number is 599. Enter the following: smtp.de.post.net:599. You receive the name and port number from your e-mail provider.

  5. If the SMTP server you specified supports SSL, enable the option "This server supports a secure connection (SSL)". Then the FRITZ!Box will use a secure connection to the server in order to send push service mail.

Push service is now configured.
