How To: Set up your email account in Outlook 2007

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 "Account Settings..."
 


2) When the "E-mail Accounts " window appears,
from the E-mail tab, click the 'New...' button
 


3) Click the circle next to "Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP" and then click "Next" .
 


4) On the 'Auto Account Setup' screen, check the checkbox at the bottom of the screen and click 'Next'.



5) Select Internet E-Mail from the 'Choose E-mail Service' screen and click 'Next'.


6) This screen requires you to enter all your e-mail account information.
User Information:
    Your Name:
The name you want to appear on all e-mails you send out
    E-mail Address: Your eMail address (i.e. Jane.Doe@myDomain.tld)

Server Information:
    Account Type:
 select POP3
    Incoming Mail server (POP3): mail.mydomain.tld
        - replace mydomain.tld  in the examples 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
                  - same as the Incoming Mail server (POP3) above.
        (Note that NOT using your ISP's smtp server will come with a performance hit as it would be 
         equivalent to your driving past a post office on the way to the post office to mail a letter.)
Logon Information:
    User Name:
 Your eMail address 
    Password: Your eMail password

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 8
If you use mail.mydomain.tld, click on "More Settings...
 


7) 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 selected, then click "OK
     to close this window then click 'Next'
* If you use your ISP's mail server, this check box should NOT be checked
 

8) Click "Finish" on the window that confirms you have successfully entered all the required information. 

 
9) This will bring you back to your 'Account Settings / E-mail Accounts' page.
    Simply click 'Close' and yer done!
