eMail Setup in Microsoft Outlook
Here is how to set up Microsoft Outlook to work with your email account (which is part of your hosting service). The version used is Microsoft Outlook 2003, but these settings are similar in other versions of Outlook as well, (previous versions of Outlook use the same settings).
- Select Tools/eMail Accounts.
- Select “Add a new eMail account” and click Next.
- Select “POP3″ and click Next.
- On “Internet eMail Settings (POP3)” window, enter your information as follows:
- On the Internet eMail Settings window, select the “Outgoing Server” tab.
- Select “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.”
- Select “Log on Using” and enter the username and password for outgoing email (SMTP) provided by your ISP.
- Select the “Advanced” tab and change the “Outgoing server (SMTP)” port to the port number your ISP gave you. If you are a Roger’s High Speed Internet client, your (SMTP) port number will be 587. If you wish to leave mail on the server for a few days, select the “Leave a copy of messages on the server” option and select a reasonable number of days.
- Click “Okay”, click “Next”.
- Click “Finish”.

One thing to keep in mind…
Incoming email (POP3) is your domain name.
Outgoing email (SMTP) is your ISP.
The username and password for each of these will (obviously) be different.
To recap (for those not familiar with networking): When sending email, the mail servers of your ISP are used. When receiving email, the mail servers handling your domain name are use.
