Step by Step for Setting up Mail Clients w/ SMTP AUTH

Step by Step for Setting up Mail Clients w/ SMTP AUTH

  Launch Outlook

    Select "Tools" from the Menu bar.

    Select "Email Accounts" from the Tools menu. The Email Accounts Wizard will appear.

    Under the Email heading, select "Add a new email account." Click "Next."

    Select server type. In most instances you will use a POP3 connection. If you are adding a Hotmail or similar account, you will want to use an HTTP connection. Click "Next."

    Enter e-mail settings. Fill in:

        Your Name - use your full name and use title case (e.g. Jane Doe) as this is how your name will appear when others receive your email

        Email Address

        User Name (the first half of your email address - the part before the @ unless otherwise specified by your hosting company)

        Password (established when you set up the mail box with your hosting company)

        Incoming mail server (ex: incoming.verizon.net) - this is the mail server address for your hosting company where you will be checking your mail

        Outgoing mail server (ex: outgoing.verizon.net) - this is the mail server address for your Internet connection so it will come from the company that provides your Internet service

    Test account settings to make sure your address and settings are working properly. (Note: You must be connected to the Internet to perform this test.) Click the "Test Account Settings." You may need to adjust some of your settings. To do so, click "More Settings." After settings are correct, click "Next."

    Note: Some outgoing servers, such as accounts Verizon, require authentication. To activate this setting:

        Click "More Settings"

        Go to the "Outgoing Server" tab

        Check the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication."

        In most cases select "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" radio button.

        Click "OK."

Congratulations screen will appear. You have successfully entered the required account information. Click "Finish" to exit the email wizard. To add more email address to Outlook, repeat these steps.
