How to Setup Email in MS Outlook?


You must be thinking to setup Email in MS Outlook is very difficult or complicated task. You may have tried and got success but sometime it is hard to setup email in MS outlook and you never find even a single email in your Outlook Email Account. I am sharing something important with you to know how you can do it yourself to setup email in Outlook.

I am assuming that you are already aware of Outlook Express; furthermore Outlook is similar to Outlook Express.

Do It Yourself (DIY)
You can try the following to Setup Email:
Go to 'Tools' -> 'Email Accounts' -> 'Add a new e-mail account' -> 'POP3'
User Information:
Your Name: [as you wish]
E-mail address: [you@yourdomain.com]
Server Information:
Incoming mail server (POP3): yourdomain.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): yourdomain.com or your ISPs SMTP Server settings.
Logon Information:
User Name: [full email address (example: you@yourdomain.com)]
Password: [email account password]
Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) is NOT checked.
Click 'More Settings ...' -> 'Outgoing Server' Tab.
'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication' IS checked.
(use same settings as...) is checked. (NOTE: not all ISP allow you to use SMTP servers that are not their own, so you may be required to use the settings for sending email they provide.)
Click 'OK' and you're finished.
If you want the port settings for the advanced tab in the settings, the standard ports are usually already filled in and work fine without changes; port 25 for SMTP, port 110 for POP, port 143 for IMAP. Your server may also have an alternate port 26 or 587 open for SMTP if your ISP blocks port 25.

This way you can DO It Yourself to Setup Emails in MSOutlook. Hopefully you will find this post useful and share your comments too.
