Outlook Express

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. Here is how to configure the Outlook Express email client to use with your email accounts: 1. Open Outlook Express, and from the Tools menu select Accounts.

2. Click Add, and then select Mail from the next menu. The Internet Connection Wizard will open.

3. Type in your Display Name: this is the name that your recipients will see in the “From” field of e-mails that you send. Click Next.

4. Enter your complete email address and click Next. Please make sure to replace “yourdomain.com” with your actual domain name.

5. Select POP3 as incoming mail server. 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.yourdomain.com, where "yourdomain.com" is the name of your domain. Outgoing mail server (SMTP) Your outgoing server is mail.yourdomain.com, where "yourdomain.com" is the name of your domain. NOTE: "mail.yourdomain.com" is your SMTP server that comes with your web hosting package. In order to use this server to send e-mails, you must login to it using the same account username and password as your incoming server. You can specify this in step 6. If you have trouble withoutgoing email using your SMTP server with your web hosting package, and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) allows it, you can use the outgoing mail server for your Internet Service Provider. Contact your Internet Service Provider to get this setting. For SBC Users the outgoing mail server is smtp.sbcglobal.net. SBC requires you use their outgoing server in most situations.

6. Enter your complete email address in the Account name text field and your email account password in the Password text field. Do not check the box next to Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA).

7. Click Next and then - Finish.

8. Now, select your e-mail account from the list on the left and click on Properties.

9. Select the Servers tab and check the box next to My server requires authentication.

10. Click Apply.

11. Finally, click OK and then - Close.
