Setting Up Email Accounts in Microsoft Outlook
Welcome to our tutorial for setting up email accounts in Microsoft Outlook.
Before we begin, please make sure that you have already created your email account in your main control panel. For help on creating email accounts, please go here.
1. Start off by opening Outlook.
On the toolbar, click on "tools" and then "E-mail Accounts" on the dropdown menu.
A dialog box should popup (as shown below).
2. Make sure "Add a new e-mail account" is checked, and click "Next".
3. The next screen requests the Server Type. The Mail Server is a POP3 server.
Select the box next to "POP3" and then click "Next".
4. The next screen requests your main account information.
Use the following information:
User Information
Your Name: The name you want to appear in the e-mail "From" field.
Email Address: The full email address of the account you are setting up.
Logon Information
User Name: Your FULL email address. Not just the part before @yourdomain.com.
Password: The password that is associated with your email address.
Server Information
Incoming Mail Server (POP3): mail.yourdomain.com (where yourdomain.com is your domain name).
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): Your ISP's outgoing mail server*
* Many ISP's are now blocking outgoing email from mail servers other than their's, therefore you will need to enter your ISP's outgoing mail server name as the outgoing mail server.
After filling out all the information, click on "Test Account Settings" to confirm that everything is working fine. Once everything seems ok, click on "Next", then "Finish" on the proceeding page.
Congratulations! Your account should now be successfully setup and ready to send/receive email in Outlook. We suggest you test it out just to confirm that it does work correctly.
