Setting Up Outlook 2000

After you have set up an email box on your account, you can access it using an email client program like Outlook.

• Open Outlook and select Accounts from the Tools menu at the top.
  
• Click on the Mail tab (A) to see your existing email accounts. Click on the Add button (B) and then select Mail... (C) from the fly out menu.

• In the next few windows you'll be asked to enter your "Display Name" which is the name people see when they receive your email and then your E-mail Address which is the address of the email box you created on the server.

• The wizard will ask you for they type of server and the name of your email servers. We suggest that you use whatever type of server you set up when you set up the account. If you set up a POP, then you would sellect POP3 from the drop down list.
• Your Incoming server is your domain name. (domain.com)
• Your SMTP server is typically provided by your ISP and is the same as the SMTP server that you would have used to set up email with them.

• Internet Mail Login will require you to provide your Account Name, which is the name before the @ symbol on the new email box. Then you should input the password which you set up with the new box as well. We recommend checking the box for "Remember Password." No other boxes need to be checked.

• Select the kind of connection that your computer uses. When in doubt, we recommend Connect using my local areal network (LAN) even if you use a modem to connect to the internet.

• Now you're done adding this new box. Click the Finish button to finalize the process.

• Now set the new box to be your default email box if you wish by highlighting it (A), click the Set as Default (B) button and then press the Close (C) button.

• You should now be able to send and receive from this email box.
