Setting up your POP and SMTP email using Microsoft Outlook

This tutorial will take you through the process of configuring Microsoft Outlook using the POP/SMTP servers as provided as part of your web hosting email service. You can also use this tutorial for other POP email clients. If you have not yet created your first Mailbox, see Setting up your First Mailbox before using this guide.

• Choose Tools from the menu at the top of the screen, then select Email Accounts.
• Select to Add a new Email Account.

• Microsoft Outlook is now set-up to send and receive email for your domain name.

Please Note: Your SMTP server address is provided by your ISP (whomever you connect to the Internet through), you may find for security reasons (due to spam) that they will not let you access email through this server. If this is the case then you should contact them to alert them that you wish to use your domain name through your ISP account with them, in order for them to remove this filter from your account.
