Beginning

First of all you need to open the mail program and then select the “Tools” option. From this menu select the “e-mail accounts” option. This allows you to setup and configure your mail accounts.

Adding a new mail account

This menu gives you access to add a new email account, and to view/change your current email accounts already created. You need to select the “Add a new e-mail account” option, then click Next.

Select your name

Here you need to select the type of account you wish to create. You should select either POP3, or IMAP. With POP3, it will download all of the mail to your computer. With IMAP, it will leave the mail on the server.

Select your reply address

On this screen, the name you choose as “Your name”, will be the name people see the mail being sent from. The address you use in “E-mail address”, will be the email address people see the mail being sent from.
Most people choose the email address they are sending from. For example: if your email address is me@me.com, you will most likely want the reply address to be me@me.com

There are also two server addresses you must complete, one for incoming mail and one for outgoing mail.

For some Internet Server Provider (ISP), there is a restriction in using SMTP server and you need to use their ISP SMTP server for you to send an email. In the incoming mail server field, you need to enter: mail.yoursitename, so if your address is me.com you want to use mail.me.com
For the outgoing mail server (SMTP) you should consult your ISP (the company who provides your Internet connection). Most ISP’s provide an SMTP server of the form: smtp.ispname or mail.ispname If they cannot provide you with this, we can offer SMTP as an upgrade.
The logon information is the username/password you must use when collecting your mail. If you have created your own mail account via the siteadmin interface you should set the account name/password to the email address/password you chose. Otherwise you should use the email address/password provided in your welcome email.

All done

Simply select finish and you are now all ready to receive your email through outlook.
