Setup POP3 E-mail Accounts Using Microsoft Outlook

Step 1: Open the Accounts View

Because you can set up as many mail accounts as you want, the Internet Accounts dialog box displays all your account information. To open it, choose Tools, Accounts from the menu bar.

Step 2: Create a New Account

The Internet Accounts dialog box has three tabs at the top. Click Mail to see only your mail accounts.  Choose Add to start creating a new account.

Step 3: Answer the Wizard's Questions

Answer the questions on each page of the Internet Connection Wizard, choosing the Next button to move from one question to the next.

Step 4: Enter Your Server Names

You may have to verify some of the wizard's questions. In particular, your POP server and SMTP server names are. Your POP server is mail.yourdomain.com and your SMTP server will be the one your ISP uses. This information is required if Outlook is to properly connect to your mail account for sending and retrieving mail.

Examples of ISPs

AT&T or SBC

AOL

 

Step 5: Enter Your Logon Name

In this section you will need to enter the username and password of the account that you are trying to check. "Example" If I want to check me@mydomain.com the username will be me@mydomain.com and the password will be the one you were given by Northern Sky Designs. 

Step 6: Choose a Connection

Select the kind of Internet connection that your computer uses. It's often convenient to select Connect Using My Local Area Network, even if you use a modem to connect to the Internet.

Step 7: Set a Default Account


 

If you want to make your new account the default for sending email, select the account name and click the Set as Default button.
