How To Configure Outlook 2003

We have updated instructions for Outlook 2013. Click here to view the new FAQ.

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.

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 (for example: joe@mydomain.com)
Incoming mail server: this should be your domain name (usually with a “mail.” in front)
Outgoing mail server: this is provided by your Internet Service Provider (such as Time Warner, SBC Global, AT&T, etc.)
User name: this should be the entire email address (for example: joe@mydomain.com)
Password: the password you setup in the control panel for this address.

The last step is to click Next and then Finish.
