Outlook E-Mail Tutorial
Setting Up Your E-mail in
Microsoft Outlook
This tutorial shows you how to set
up Microsoft Outlook to work with your e-mail account. This tutorial focuses
on setting up Microsoft Outlook 2003, but these settings are similar in
other versions of Microsoft Outlook. You can set up previous versions of
Microsoft Outlook by using the settings in this tutorial.
To Set Up Your E-mail Account in
Microsoft Outlook
-
In Microsoft Outlook, select
Tools > E-mail Accounts.
-
On the E-mail Accounts wizard
window, select "Add a new e-mail account" and click Next.
-
For your server type, select
"POP3" and click Next.
-
On the Internet E-mail Settings
(POP3) window, enter your information as follows:
- Your Name
-
Enter your first and last
name.
- E-mail Address
-
Enter your e-mail address.
- User Name
-
Enter your e-mail address,
again.
- Password
-
Enter the password you set up
for your e-mail account.
- Incoming mail server (POP3)
-
Your incoming server is mail.coolexample.com,
where "coolexample.com" is the name of your domain.
- Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
-
Enter smtpout.secureserver.net
for your outgoing mail server. NOTE: If you experience problems
with your outgoing mail, it might be necessary to contact your Internet
Service Provider (ISP) and see if they allow their outgoing mail server
be used. If so, they will provide the correct setting.
-
On the Internet E-mail Settings
window, select the "Outgoing Server" tab.
-
Select "My outgoing server
(SMTP) requires authentication."
-
Select "Log on using" and enter
the user name and password. NOTE: If you are using your ISP's server
for outgoing mail (see #4 above) then instead of selecting "Log on using"
you will select "Use same settings as my incoming mail server".
-
Select the "Advanced" tab and
change the "Outgoing server (SMTP)" port to 80 or 3535. NOTE: Keep
the port at 25 if you are using your ISP's server for outgoing mail (see
#4 above)
-
Click OK.
-
Click Next.
-
Click Finish.
If you experience errors with
outgoing mail, you might need to check with your Internet Service Provider
(ISP) or the IT person that your office uses to see what they recommend
using for your Outgoing Mail Server. Your ISP might require you to use
their server settings. See #4 above to change settings.
