Setting up your email on Outlook Express is super easy and will not take you more than 5 minutes. So let's do it:
- If you have opened Outlook Express for the first time, skip the initial wizard
- Click on the Tools menu
- Click on Accounts
- Click on the Mail tab
- Click on Add
- Click on Mail
- Enter your Display name
- Click on Next
- Enter your Email address
- Click on Next
- Select Incoming mail server as a POP3 or IMAP server. We'd suggest using POP3, it keeps a copy of your email on your computer so that you can view it even if you're offline
-
Enter the Incoming mail server as pop.yourdomain.com (‘imap.yourdomain.com’ if you are using IMAP)
Note:
If you have a Linux Hosting package, set the Incoming mail server to 'mail.yourdomain.com'
If you have a Windows Hosting package, set the Incoming mail server to 'yourdomain.com'
- Enter the Outgoing mail server as smtp.yourdomain.com
Note:
If you have a Linux Hosting package, set the Outgoing mail server to 'mail.yourdomain.com'
If you have a Windows Hosting package, set the Outgoing mail server to 'yourdomain.com'
- Click on Next
- Enter your Email address as the Account name
- Enter your existing Email Password
- Leave Log on using Secure Password Authentication(SPA) unchecked
- Click on Next
- Click Finish
- You'll now see the Email account created in the Mail tab. Just a few more additional steps and you're good to go
- Select your mail account
- Click on Properties
- Click on the Servers tab
- Tick My server requires authentication
- Click on the Advanced tab
- Set the Port for Outgoing mail(SMTP) to 587
- Set the Port for Incoming mail(POP3) to 110 (Note - If you're using IMAP, you need to set it to 143)
- Tick Leave a copy of mesages on server. This will ensure that a copy of your email is stored on our servers even after it gets downloaded to your Outlook Express
- Click OK
- Click on Close
That’s it. You're all set to use your email account on your Outlook Express.
