1) Open Outlook, go to the "Tools" menu (if you get other pop-up screens when opening Outlook click the cancel button next to them until you can click on the "Tools" menu), and click on "E-mail Accounts..."
2) When the "E-mail Accounts " window appears,
click on the circle next to "Add a new e-mail account" then click "Next".
3) Click the circle next to "POP3" and then click "Next" .
4) This screen requires you to enter all your e-mail account information.
Your Name: The name you want to appear on all e-mails you send out
E-mail Address: Your eMail address (i.e. BUser@myDomain.tld)
User Name: Your eMail address
Password: Your eMail password
*Incoming Mail server (POP3): mail.mydomain.tld
*- Replace myDomain.tld in the example above with YOUR domain name
**Outgoing mail server (SMTP): (ask your service provider)
**- Your internet service provider may require you to use their Outgoing mail server (SMTP).
You should be able to get this from their web site, support department, or start-up literature
provided when your service was installed.
... otherwise, if you must, you may use 'your' SMTP server by entering: mail.mydomain.tld
as in the POP3 server above
(Note that using your smtp server will come with a performance hit as it would be
equvilent to your driving past a post office on the way to the post office to mail a letter.)
Once you have filled out the blanks do one of the following:
If you use your ISP's SMTP Server, click on "Next" and skip to Step 6
If you use mail.mydomain.tld, click on "More Settings..."
5) In this window, click on the "Outgoing Server" tab and ensure that the checkbox is checked*, and the circle next to "Use same settings my incoming mail server" is filled, then click "OK" and then "Next"
* If you use your ISP's mail server, this check box should NOT be checked
6) Click "Finish" on the window that confirms you have successfully entered all the required information. When you return to the main menu, you may be asked to enter your password, and once you have done so, Outlook will download the e-mail message headers from your account.
