Since Cox is an email provider that uses the same email username and password for both the incoming and outgoing mail servers, you can choose Authentication = Password, and set the popup menu to use the same info as for the incoming mails server. With your name and password, Cox knows you’re their customer, so they allow you to send mail at the hotspot. If Cox used different usernames and passwords for their incoming and outgoing servers, the choice to use the same info as for the incoming mail server wouldn’t workyou’d have to enter the outgoing name and password manually in order to send mail from the hotspot.
