This article covers how to set up a Weberz Email account in Outlook Express. For instructions on Microsoft Outlook please click on which version the instructions will be for:
Outlook 2000 Outlook XP (2002) Outlook 2003
|
Open Outlook Express. Once Outlook Express has loaded, click on Tools --> Accounts.
|
|
This will bring up the Internet Accounts window. Click on Add --> Mail Account.
|
|
This starts the Internet Connection Wizard. Even though it’s called the Internet Connection Wizard, this is what is used to configure a mail account in Outlook Express. The first thing that needs to be entered is the Display Name. This is the name that is displayed on all emails that will be sent from this account.
|
|
Once this information has been entered, click next. Now enter the email address for this account (This email should have already been setup in the Weberz Control Panel).
|
|
Click Next. Now the incoming and outgoing mail server information needs to be entered.
|
|
These will both be set to mail.yourdomainname.com. Click Next.
|
Outlook Express is now going to ask for the username and password that are required to connect to the mail account. The username is the full email address that was setup (this includes the @domain.com portion). The password is the same password that was setup in the Weberz Control Panel.
|
|
Click Next, then Click Finish. The account is now set up, however a few more settings need to be configured. Highlight the account that was just created and click on properties.
|
|
This will bring up the properties window for that account. Click on the Servers tab. Towards the bottom of the window there will be a check box for "My server requires authentication". Check this box.
|
|
This will make the settings button clickable. Click the settings button. This will bring up a window where the login information for the outgoing mail server can be entered. Select "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" and click ok.
|
|
Click ok again and the Internet Accounts will be visible again. Click the close button and Outlook Express will be ready to send and receive email through Weberz.
