How do I set up my email in Outlook?

Email, Hosting Support April 2nd, 2009

Please have your Email Username and Password ready and then…

1.  In Microsoft Outlook, select Tools > E-mail Accounts.

2. On the E-mail Accounts wizard window, select "Add a new e-mail account" and click Next.

3. For your server type, select "POP3" and click Next.

4. On the Internet E-mail Settings (POP3) window, enter your information as follows:

Your Name
Enter your first and last name or whatever you would like to appear in the From field of your emails.

E-mail Address
Enter your e-mail address.

User Name
Enter your e-mail address, but substitute a "+" for the "@".

Password
Enter the password you set up for your e-mail account.

Incoming mail server (POP3)
mail.yourdomain.com or mail.yourdomain.ca

Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
Same as above (mail.yourdomain.com) or leave your current Internet Provider’s settings as is.

5. One thing you need to also do is change the Outgoing Server Port to 26. When you’re at the Internet E-mail Settings screen, click on More Settings and that should bring you to the screen where you can change Ports. (Port 25 is generally blocked by Internet Providers and you will have trouble sending mail if this isn’t changed.)

6. Click "Test Account Settings" to double check that things are working, and you’re done!
