This tutorial will guide
you in setting up
Outlook 2003 for the
first time�
When you open Outlook 2003 for the first time, select Tools and then Email Accounts…
- When the Wizard
starts, select
Add a new
e-mail account
and click
Next to
continue
- Select
POP3 and
then click
Next again
- Here you’ll need
to enter your name,
email address, user
name, password that
you have created
along with the mail
server info. If
you’re unsure of
your mail server
names, refer to the
information that was
sent to you in the
opening email.
- Select the
Outgoing
Server tab
and place a check in
the box labelled
My outgoing
server (SMTP)
requires
authentication.
Make sure that
Use same
settings as my
incoming mail server
is selected. This
step may not be
required by your
ISP, yet, but more
and more are making
it a requirement.
And even if it’s not
required, it’s still
a good idea. Click
OK
to return to the
previous settings
window.
- Now click the
Test Account
Settings…
button.
- If each of the
fields have been
filled in properly,
you should get green
check marks for each
of the tasks. If any
errors are reported,
select the
Errors tab
for more
information. Click
Close
and then back in the
settings window
click Next.
- That’s it,
you’re done! Click
Finish
to begin using
Outlook 2003.
- Notice that one of the first messages you’ll download is a ‘test message’ that Outlook actually sent itself (this was the test performed back in step 6). This message can of course be deleted.
