First, you will see the General Properties. It should look something like this.

The top item (J Smith spsp mail) is only seen by you. It's not very important unless you have lots of email addresses.

The 4 items under "User information" are sent with each email you send. (You can fill in the Orgaization if you want.)

The email address and reply address should both be filled in. They're ordinarily the same, especially if you have only one email address.
