Configure Internet e-mail Accounts in Outlook

You must correctly configure the Internet E-mail information service to send and receive messages in Outlook. To do this, you must have the following specific information about your e-mail account to manually configure it in Outlook. Contact your ISP if needed to obtain the following information:

  • Your full e-mail address.
  • The type of e-mail account: POP3, IMAP or HTTP.
  • Your user name.
  • Your password.
  • The SMTP server name or address.
  • The POP3 server name or address.
  • Is Secure Password Authentication (SPA) required?
  • The port number that is used for SMTP. (Most ISPs use port 25.) Is encryption (SSL is most common) required for the port?
  • The port number that is used for POP3. (Most ISPs use port 110.) Do you require encryption (SSL is most common) for the port?
  • Does the outgoing e-mail server (SMTP) require authentication? If so, do you use my normal e-mail name and password?

Use one of the following methods to configure the Internet E-mail information service, as appropriate for the version of Outlook that you are running.
