Setting up Outlook and
Outlook Express
for our
Standard Web Site Package
The following is a step-by-step tutorial on setting up the
Outlook and Outlook Express mail client to download/send mail from your mail server. As Microsoft
has been know to change their user interface from time to time this is specific to versions
9.0.0.2711 (outlook) and 5.00.0810.800 (Outlook Express). For other versions please see the documentation that comes with Outlook
Express or contact Microsoft's support desk.
Setting up a new mail client
Off of the Tools menu select "Accounts"
Under the "Mail" tab select "Add" then
"Mail"
Internet Connection Wizard
This will open up the Internet Connection Wizard. We have entered in a display name which
matches the e-mail account name we are setting up. In this case yoursite@yoursitename.com
Internet e-mail address
Next enter your e-mail address. Again I entered yoursite@yoursitename.com
E-mail server information
The next screen in the wizard asks for your e-mail server information. The information
needed was provided in your server or domain configuration letter. If you have lost this
e-mail please contact our support department.
Internet Mail Logon
Make sure you use your domain name as part of the
account name.
e.g. yoursite@yoursitename.com
You're almost done! When you click on "Finish" the Internet Connection
Wizard will create
an account for you in Outlook Express.
Before you can use Outlook Express to check your
mail on your server you need to enable authentication for sending
mail.
