6. "Name:" can be your given name. This is what will apear to the recipients of your emails.

7. "Organization:" is usually blank unless you use this account solely for business.

8. "E-mail:" is your email address. This will set the "reply to" field for the recipients of your emails unless you enter something different in the "Reply address:" spot
