Email SMTP Settings

[Amyblu]

Hi, don't think I'm typing this in the right place, but this is my first time on this forum, well any forum in fact, and I don't have a clue what's going on. I'm new to the world of iPad, and very far from tech savvy! I have the iPad 3, 32GB with 4G and wifi... I've been having problems with sending mail from my hot,ail account. It keeps on saying 'you have not specified an SMTP server in mail preferences, you must specify a server before you can send mail.' I've tried everything that has been recommended, even deleting the account. snt-m.hotmail.com is the server and SSL is on. My account is hotmail.co.za. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
