I'm hoping someone can answer this since I can't find what I need in the manual nor anywhere else. When you start a PBEM game and end your turn it tells you to email it to the next player. Furthermore it says that you can set the email address and smtp server so that you can send the email from within the game.
This sounds great however, I can't find anywhere to set this information, nor do I find any information on have a server host a game per say. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you use yahoo, Gmail or any other (free mail)internet servers this will not work.
If your ISP (internet service provider) has setup your Outlook express to use as your default mail handler and your ISP server isn't to security bulked up
you may be able to use this.
If you know your account username and password add it by pressing ALT & D during your next turn, put in your send to players e-maill address. When the turn is over choose the send option, if you get an error listed on the left side of the game screen, chances are you, just like the rest of us can't use this option (I've contacted support on this issue and their resolve is to go to your e-mail account settings and change the port to 25, caution here, because this may stop you from being able to use it otherwise.
