1. On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.

The E-mail Accounts command is on the Tools menu in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 and Microsoft Outlook 2002. If you are using an earlier version of Outlook, the following instructions do not apply. Outlook 2000, Outlook 98, and Outlook 97 were released before Microsoft started posting its online Help topics for viewing on the Internet. Therefore, your best opportunity for finding written help is to use the Help that is included within those products.

2. Select Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.

3. Select the e-mail server used for your account, and then click Next.

4. In the appropriate boxes, type the information given to you by your or administrator.

Notes

* Login User Name is your complete email address.

* Incoming mail server (POP3) is: "mail.yourdomain.com" (no quotes)

* Outgoing mail server (SMTP) is: "mail.yourdomain.com" (no quotes)

• Do not select the Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) check box.

• Unless specified by your ISP, all server and address entries are typed in lowercase letters. Some ISPs require a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters for passwords to add further security. For example, passWorD. Check with your ISP to see if it requires a case-sensitive password. Use strong passwords that combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.

• You have the option of having Outlook remember your password by typing it in the Password box and selecting the Remember password check box. While this means that you won't have to type in your password each time you access the account, it also means that the account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer.

5. Do any of the following:

• If you are adding a POP3 server account, click Test Account Settings to verify that your account is working. If there is missing or incorrect information, such as your password, you will be prompted to supply or correct it. Be sure your computer is connected to the Internet.

• Click More Settings.

• Click Outgoing Server tab. Select “My server requires authentication".

6. Click Next.

7. Click Finish.
