Adding an Email Account - Outlook 2007 Print

You must correctly configure the Internet E-mail information service to send and receive messages in Outlook. To do this, you must have the following specific information about your e-mail account to manually configure it in Outlook. We provided you this information in your Welcome Letter:

• Your full e-mail address.
• The type of e-mail account: POP3, IMAP or HTTP.
• Your user name ( this will be your complete email address).
• Your password.
• The SMTP server name or address (mail.yourdomain.com). Please replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name.
• The POP3 server name or address (mail.yourdomain.com). Please replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name.
• Is Secure Password Authentication (SPA) required?
• The port number that is used for SMTP. (Most ISPs use port 25 or port 587.)
  • Is encryption (SSL is most common) required for the port? - Zippo does not require this.
• The port number that is used for POP3. (Most ISPs use port 110.)
  • Do you require encryption (SSL is most common) for the port? - Zippo does not require this.
• Does the outgoing e-mail server (SMTP) require authentication?
  • If so, do you use my normal e-mail name and password? - Zippo does not require this. But if you use it you would utilize your complete email address and password.

1. Start Outlook.
2. On the Tools menu, click Account Settings.
3. On the E-mail tab, click New.
4. In the Add New E-mail Account dialog box, click Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP, and then click Next.

        Outlook 2007 will try to automatically configure your account settings and server settings. If your account is successfully configured, the Add New E-mail Account dialog box indicates that the account was created successfully. This dialog box also indicates the type of e-mail server to which you successfully connected.
         
     5. Click Finish, and then click Close to complete the account setup.
        
        Note If automatic configuration fails, the account must be configured manually.
         
   • To configure the new e-mail account manually, follow these steps in the Add New E-mail Account dialog box:
      
     1. Click to select the Manually configure server settings or additional server types check box, and then click Next.

        • If you clicked POP3 or IMAP in the Account Typebox, follow these steps:
          1. In the Incoming mail server box, type the name of the server. This is the server that holds your messages before you download them to the computer. Type the server name in lowercase letters (mail.yourdomain.com). Please replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name.

     8. Click Test Account Settings. This feature calls a dialog box that displays, in a step-by-step manner, each phase of the testing of the configuration that you entered. When you click Test Account Settings, the following process occurs:
        • The connectivity of the system to the Internet is confirmed.
        • You are logged on to the SMTP server.
        • You are logged on to the POP3 server.
        • It is determined whether the POP3 server must be logged on to first. If it is required, Outlook automatically sets the Log on to incoming mail server before sending mail option.
        • A test message is sent. This message explains any changes that Outlook made to the initial setup.
     9. If you want to modify your e-mail account any more, click More Settings to open the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box.
