 Re: Setting up Email... | |
1. Open Outlook, and click on > TOOLS > EMAIL ACCOUNTS
2. Click > ADD EMAIL ACCOUNT
3. Click > POP3 ACCOUNT
4. Enter top left "User Information" section the User Name as created (Name ; Full.Name ; Full_Name, etc.)
5. Enter email address using all lower case (user @domainname.com)
6. In entering "Logon Information" User Name is email address all lower case and use the "+" symbol instead of the "@" symbol: user+domain.com
It is important you use the "+" symbol here and not the "@" symbol!
7. Enter PASSWORD as created
8. Tick "Remember Password" box
9. Enter "Incoming POP3" server and "Outgoing SMTP" server the same information: mail.domainname.com
10. Click > MORE SETTINGS button > GENERAL tab, enter User Name Complete (i.e. Susan Smith / Company Name)
11. Click > OUTGOING SERVER tab, tick box "My Outgoing (SMTP) Server Requires Authentication"
12. Click > ADVANCED tab, move "Timeout" slide a bit, and reset to "1 minute 30 seconds"
13. Click > OK to return to setup dialog, click on > TEST ACCOUNT SETTINGS to send test email. Should be successful....if not, is usually a connection glitch, or a false "read" by Outlook itself. Most of the time you will discover an email successfully sent when opening Outlook again once it is shut down and 'resets' itself with new configurations = saving settings.
14. Click > NEXT to finish setup! You're done!
For the most part, these instructions are for those setting up Outlook or Express for the first time, and as such, this email "account" will automatically become the "default" ..... when adding others or any subsequent, the option will always present to reset the default or to simply let be part of the "group" which is a choice at the end of the setup dialog....  |
