How do I setup my Outlook mail client?

   

This assumes you have been assigned or created yourself an email account in the Control Panel.

• Open Outlook
• Click on Tools, then click on E-mail Accounts. (Outlook 2007 calls this Account Settings)
• If you’re modifying an existing account, click on View or change existing e-mail accounts. Otherwise, click Add a new e-mail account. Click Next>

  Adding an Account:

• If you’re Adding an account, select POP3 and click Next>

  Changing an Account:

• Fill-in / modify your name and email address
• User Name: your_email_account@your_website_domain_here.com – all lowercase – (ie. john@company.com)
• Incoming mail server (POP3): mail.your_website_domain_here.com
• Outgoing mail server (SMTP): mail.your_website_domain_here.com
• User Name: your_email_account@your_website_domain_here.com – all lowercase – (ie. john@company.com)
• Password: you can save your password here; it doesn’t make sense to enter it every time you send an email message. But remember to change it when you change your password. Place a checkmark to Remember password
• Click the More Settings… button.
• Click the Outgoing Server tab:
• Check: My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.
• Click Use same settings as my incoming mail server
• Click the Advanced tab:
• Under Outgoing server change the Outgoing mail (SMTP) from port number 25 to 587
• Click OK
• Click Next>, Finish, and Close.

Test your email!
