Setting up your POP email in Outlook 2003

Here are some helpful screenshots to help guide you through your Outlook Express program when setting it up to check your web site email.

To either add a new email account to your Outlook or to edit an existing one, start by locating the Tools menu and choosing Email Accounts.

Next, select whether you want to Add a new account or View/Change one that you already setup.

If you are adding a new account into Outlook, you will want to specify POP3 as the type.

If you selected to "view or change" existing account, you will highlight the email address you want to edit and click "Change".
 

The next page will allow you to enter in all the important settings:

Your name: type the formal name you want recipients to see in the "from" field
Email address: type the entire email address you have setup in the control panel.
Incoming mail server: this should be your domain name (usually with a "mail." in front)
Outgoing mail server: this is usually provided by your Internet service provider (such as austin.rr.com or smtp.sbcglobal.net)
User name: this is the beginning of your email address before the @ sign.
Password: the password you setup in the control panel for this address.

The last step is to click Next and then Finish.
