Setting Up Your E-mail in Microsoft Outlook

This tutorial shows you how to set up Microsoft Outlook to work with your e-mail account. We focus on setting up Microsoft Outlook 2003, however, these settings are similar in previous versions of Microsoft Outlook. We will be adding a tutorial for Outlook 2007 soon.

From Microsoft Outlook...

  1. Select Tools > E-mail Accounts.
  2. At the E-mail Accounts Wizard Dialog Box, 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) page, enter your information as follows:
    • Your Name: Enter your first and last name.
    • E-mail Address : Any of your assigned email addresses
    • User Name: You have 1 of 2 options
      1. Your Logon Account Name
      2. Your User Principal Name (upn) in the format of LOGON_NAME@[your_domain_name]
        NOTE: Do NOT confused your Universal Principal Name with your Default Email Address, they are NOT necessarily the same! Your default email address is the address that the system will use when you are using Outlook Web Access (OWA)
    • Password: Enter the password you set up for your logon account. NOTE: this Is Case Sensitive
    • If you do not want to be prompted for your password when retrieving mail, enable the checkbox labeled "Remember password"
    • Incoming mail server: pop3.[your_domain_name]
    • Outgoing mail server: smtp.[your_domain_name]
    OR
  5. Click "More Settings."
    1. On the General Tab...
      • Enter your name and Domain Name in the "Mail Account" field to uniquely identify this account
      • Enter your company name in the "Organization" field
      • If you want your recipients to reply to an alternate address, you can enter it in the "Reply Email" field
    2. On the Outgoing Server Tab...
      • Enable the "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication." checkbox
      • Enable the "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" checkbox
    3. On the Advanced Tab...
      • Set the "Outgoing server (SMTP)" port to 2525
      • If you want to be able to retrieve previously read email via Outlook Web Access™ from remote locations...
        1. Enable the "Leave a copy of messages on the server" checkbox
        2. Enable the "Remove from server after..." checkbox
        3. Enable the "Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Items'" checkbox
  6. Click OK to close this dialog box and Next to complete the setup!

You should now be able to connect to your SMTP and POP3 Servers
