Unable to send email from Doro 5516

I recently got a new Doro 5516 but am unable to send emails from my Plusnet account.  I can receive them with no problems but as soon as I try to send one a message pops up instantly saying 'sending' and then another which says 'failed'.  I have played around with various settings such as port numbers etc:  I contacted Doro and was told to raise the issue with the network provider, however the advisor in the local o2 shop wasn't helpful - in fact he didn't even know how to switch the phone on.  I returned the phone to Mobile Phones Direct who replaced it without any qualms, however, none of the above has resolved the issue.  I notice from the community pages that quite a few people have this problem.

 

I would be eternally grateful if anyone could tell me what settings I should be using together with any other useful hints.

Many thanks.

Try these in your outgoing (smtp) settings.

I'm sorry I don't understand your last message.  What are you asking me to do.
