How to Set Up Email Accounts on Outlook
Setting up an email account on Outlook is a pretty simple process.
- The first thing you do is to bring up your Outlook page. There is a bar along the top that says File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, Actions and Help.
- Choose the one that says Tools. There is a drop down list that will appear. Go down towards the bottom and select Email Accounts. It is the third one from the bottom. From there you select Add New Email Account and then under type select POP3.
-
You will then be presented with a screen that says Internet Email Settings (POP3). This screen needs to be filled out completely and correctly or your email account will not work properly. Under User Information, where it says Your Name and Email Address you will put the name you want displayed when sending emails and the email account that people will be sending emails to.
- This is normally the primary email you set up.
- Under the Login Information, put the user name given to you by your email provider and the password they supplied.
- The last section titled Server Information; enter your incoming mail server which is your POP3 address and outgoing mail server which is your SMTP address. Normally these will look like: mail.yourdomain.com.
- At this point you can click the button that says Test Account Settings. It is important to make sure all the info is correct and the email works.
And that is all there is to setting up an email account with Outlook. It is pretty basic and simple and Outlook will walk you through each step.
Try sending an email to a friend if you want to double check if your email account works.
