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
 

1. In Microsoft Outlook, select Tools > E-mail Accounts.
   
   
    

2. On the E-mail Accounts wizard window, select "Add a new e-mail account" and click Next.
   
    
    

3. For your server type, select "POP3" and click Next.
   
   
    

4. On the Internet E-mail Settings (POP3) window, enter your information as follows:

   Your Name

   Enter your office or personal 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. (This is case sensitive.)

   Incoming mail server (POP3)

   Your incoming server is mail.yourdomain.com, where "yourdomain.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.

   
    

5. On the Internet E-mail Settings window, select the "Outgoing Server" tab.
    

6. Select "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication."
    

7. 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".
    

8. 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)
    

9. Click OK.
   
   
    

10. Click Next.
    
    
     

11. 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.
