Hi there,
The settings you need are all at http://www.plus.net/support/email/setup/settings.shtml - though bear in mind if you use the mobile data connection rather than your home wifi you'll probably need to use your mobile provider's outgoing server (usually called a relay or smtp server).
Hope that helps.

@lotrjw, Use the 'To enter email account settings manually (advanced)' section in here http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/how-to/wp8/people/set-up-or-delete-an-email-account .
Use the settings in the link Matt gave . You could also set the outgoing server to relay.plus.net but use port 587 and authentication ( described here for Windows live mail http://www.plus.net/support/email/setup/windows_live_mail_smtp.shtml , I hope that's similar to Windows Phone ) then your outgoing mail should work from any connection
Hope that helps
