Setting up Outlook 2007 to check your emails
This article will explain how to setup your Microsoft Outlook 2007 to send and receive emails. Most of the information below can be used by different providers, but some of it will only apply to customers who are hosting with 123 Simples. If you would like to switch your hosting over to our services, then please contact us about how to do this.
ONLY CURRENT CLIENTS WILL BE ABLE TO LOGIN TO OUR EMAIL SYSTEMS
This information only applies to current hosting customers on 123 Simples! If you are not using our hosting services, but still use Outlook 2007 to access to emails, then the information should still apply, but you will need to alter your specific settings to login to your own email servers.
BEFORE you will be able to take advantage of this email system, you will have to either setup an email address in your Hosting Control Panel, or we will set one up for you, and give you the details that you require such as your email address and connection password.
123 Simples Web Design and Hosting have produced this guide to help our clients to setup specific email programs to allow them to send and receive emails using their particular software program. The information below is intended for our clients use only. In order for you to do this, you will need to know your email address and login password. Without that information, you will not be able to check and send emails using this system. Please contact us if you are having problems or if you have forgotten your user credentials.
1. Open Outlook 2007 and click on the tab button called Tools:
2. Follow the drop down, and you should see the tab Account Settings. Left hand click on this choice:
3. The window shown below will open. Make sure that the email tab is selected (normally it should be), and then Left click on New:
4. The Add New Email account window will open. We are setting up a POP3 account, and the default selection should be as shown below. Click Next:
5. You will see the window as below, with 4 highlighted boxes. Rather than enter the information here, put a tick in Manually configure the server settings...
6. ..like we have done here. After you have popped in the tick in the checkbox, choose Next:
7. It will bring you back to the original window, but this time, it will allow you to manually enter all the specific information you will need to put it.
8. Choose POP3 again...
9. Here you will need to enter the information, and the details that we have provided you with, such as your email address and password. In order these will be:
Your Name: enter your name as you would like it to appear in incoming or outgoing emails
E-mail Address: the one you have setup in your WebsitePanel
Account Type: POP3 will be selected as we chose this already
Incoming mail server: will be mail.yourdomainname.followed by the domain extension
Outgoing mail server: will be the same as your incoming mail server
User Name: will be your actual email address that you have setup in your control panel
Password: will be the password you setup for that email address
Put a tick in remember password
Then click More Settings
10. After clicking More Settings, this window will open. There are 4 tabs, and one by one, you should verify the following information. On the first tab called General, make sure that your name is put in as how you would like to identify this account on Outlook. You can enter something meaningful here, perhaps like Sales Department, or whatever suits you best. The organisation and email reply boxes can be left blank.
11. Choose the next tab called Outgoing Server, and put a tick in "My outgoing server requires authentication", and there should be a dot in use same settings, just as it is in this image below:
12. Next, go to the Connection tab, and depending on how you connect to your ISP provider, make the relevant selection. We chose Connect Using Internet Explorers or a 3rd Party dialer.
You can always change this (or any of the settings later) if you make a mistake!
13. Click the Advanced Tab. You should see the same settings as shown in the image below, because we are connecting via POP3 mail.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you click OK on this window! before closing it.
14. You will now be brought back to this window below. You can choose Test Account Settings, which should record if your entries have been entered correctly, and deliver a Outlook automated test message. If everything is fine, click Next.
15. Finally choose Finish, and the window will close, and you will back to Outlook. You should now be able to send and receive emails on this account that you have just setup. To add another email account, or to edit an existing account, just repeat the same steps as outlined here.
