Setting Up your
Outlook Mail Account
Although not all versions of Microsoft Outlook will look exactly as
shown below, the information required to set up an account will be the
same.
Before starting this process
make sure you have set up your email account and have your email settings
available for your account.
Select Tools from the Outlook menu bar.
Select Accounts (or Services if Accounts is not an option).
This will open the Internet Accounts window.
Internet Accounts set
up
From the Internet Accounts window select the “Mail” tab.
Next, click the “Add” control button on the right side and
select “Mail" from the choices.
Your Name
Type in the name that you want to appear in your e-mail headers (usually
your name),
Click Next to continue.
Internet E-mail Address
Type in Your e-mail address exactly as it is set up on your account.
yourname@yourdomain.com.
Click Next to continue.
E-mail Server Names
In this window, select POP3 if it is not already
selected for the incoming mail server type.
Enter mail.yourdomain.com (i.e. mail.johndoehomes.com) for the Incoming
mail (POP3 or IMAP) server.
Enter mail.yourdomain.com (i.e. mail.johndoehomes.com) as the Outgoing
mail (SMTP) server.*
*Note: Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may
not allow use of our Outgoing mail SMTP server address.
If this is the case, you will not be able to send email from this account.
Solutions-
- Contact your ISP for the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server address.
- Try using "mail" as the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server address-
Many cable users can use this with no problems.
- If you have another Outlook email account set up that allows you to
send mail, use the same Outgoing mail (SMTP) server address that is
used for that account.
Make sure to enter the server names exactly
as the shown below.
Click Next to continue.
Internet Mail Login
Type in the Account name and the password for the account.
Your Account name is Your e-mail address exactly as it is set
up on your account.
yourname@yourdomain.com Note:
All characters must be in Lower Case.
You can elect to have Outlook remember the password, but this
can be risky if your computer is ever available to others while you
are away.
Click Next to continue.
Internet Connection
Now, you must tell Outlook how you want to connect to the Internet to
access the e-mail accounts.
Select your connection method as shown below
Click Next to continue.
If prompted, click "Finish"
