Got your new hosting account, anxious to start emailing everyone but cannot understand what your service provider means?
A lot of clients have asked for help in setting up an email account so I have put together a ’step by step’ guide for Microsoft Outlook. If you still need help, please email me.
Step 1: Launch Microsoft Outlook and select ‘Tools’ from the main top menu’. Select ‘Email Accounts’ from the drop down menu. A pop up window will appear - select ‘Add a new e-mail account’ - click ‘Next’
Step 2: Select ‘POP 3′ from the list and then click ‘Next’
Step 3:
-User Information: Enter your name and email address.
-Logon Information: Enter your user name (usually your entire email address) and the password assigned.
-Server Information:
Your incoming mail server will be given to you by your email hosting company and will be something like - ‘mail.your-isp.com.au’. If you haven’t got this information, ask your Internet service provider.
Outgoing mail server: This will be the address given to you by your internet access provider. It may be something like - mail.bigpond.net
Please note: If you have a separate internet account to your email/web hosting, the outgoing address will differ.
-Click on ‘Test Account Settings’ - a new pop up window will show the progress.
-If there are no errors, you will see a ‘congratulations’ message.
