Email Setup Guide - Outlook Express 6
These instructions describe the minimum steps to configure Microsoft Outlook Express 6 to collect email from our servers.
1. From the menu bar select "Tools" then "Accounts"
2. Click on the "Add" button and select "Mail"
3. Enter your name, or if setting up for a business you may want to enter a function rather than a name (e.g. "Attic Batik Sales"), then click on "Next >"
4. Enter your email address for this account, then click on "Next >"
5. Enter the email servers names - these will have been provided in your welcome email, but will normally be mail.<yourdomain> for POP3 (incoming mail) and smtp.<yourdomain> for SMTP (outgoing mail) - then click on "Next >"
6. Enter your logon details - your username will be the full name of the mailbox you have created in the mail admin area (e.g. trace@atticbatik.com) and the password will be the one you provided when adding that mailbox - then click on "Next >"
Please note: Passwords are case sensitive, so make sure your Caps Lock is not on when entering your password.
7. Click "Finished" and proceed to next step
8. Make sure the email account you have just created is selected and then click on the "Properties" button (yellow highlight in the image below)
9. Click on the "Servers" tab and then check the "My server requires authenticaion" box (highlighted in the image below with a red outline), then click on "OK"
This step is very important. If you do not check this box, you will not be able to send email.
10. Click on "Close" (yellow highlight in the image below)
11. Click on "Send/Recv" to check (send and receive) your email
