No problem at all! At first I was thinking this was too simple of a question to be asked here. BTW, myself, I use the IP numbers in those SMTP and pop address fields. Some people would disagree with this (incase your ISP changes them) but it does take a milli second off the time it takes to send/receive email.
Glad to be of some help. My turn to give some instead of always asking!
