To set up Outlook 2007 for POP, perform the following steps:
- In Outlook, select Tools / Account Settings.
- On the Email tab, click the New button.
- If prompted, ensure that the Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP radio button is selected, and click the Next button.
- Check the Manually configure server settings or additional server types box.
- Click the Next button.
- Ensure that the Internet E-mail radio button is selected, and click the Next button.
- Enter the following information:
- Your Name—Enter your first and last name. This is the name that will appear in the From field of messages you send.
- E-mail Address—Enter your entire email address (e.g., myname@mydomain.com).
- Account Type—Select POP3 from the drop-down menu.
- Incoming mail server—Enter the server name
- Outgoing mail server (SMTP)—Enter the server name
- User Name—Enter your entire email address (e.g., myname@mydomain.com).
- Password—Enter the password for your email account.
- Check the Remember password box, if you want Outlook to check for email without prompting you to enter your password.
- Click the More Settings button.
- Click the Outgoing Server tab.
- Check the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication box. Leave the default setting, Use same settings as my incoming mail server.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- In the Outgoing server (SMTP) box, enter the secure outgoing port: 2525 (or if that does not work try one of the following: 25, 587, 8025).
- A POP connection normally removes the email messages from the server during download. If you would like to leave copies on the server, select the Leave a copy of messages on server check box. To avoid exceeding your account’s storage limits, indicate whether the server should delete messages after a certain number of days and/or delete messages when you manually delete them from the Deleted Items folder.
- Click the OK button.
- Click the Next button.
- Click the Finish button.
- Click the Close button.
