No because we don't know your Email provider.
Look on their website for the settings you need to use.

If you are using Windows Mail then see this link from my website:

The procedure is the same for Outlook Express too.

That very likely means that you haven't given the mail setup the name of a
mail server that actually exists.

Check with your email provider for all of the correct settings, and use
them.
