  5. Click the Next button.
  6. Ensure that the Internet E-mail radio button is selected, and click the Next button.

    • 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.

  2. Click the More Settings button.
  3. Click the Outgoing Server tab.
  4. Check the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication box. Leave the default setting, Use same settings as my incoming mail server. ec_eh_outlook2007pop_003_0.gif
  5. Click the Advanced tab. 
  6. 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).
  7. 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.
  8. Click the OK button.
  9. Click the Next button.
  10. Click the Finish button.
  11. Click the Close button.
