Internet Email Setup Instructions

Back to main email support page.

These instructions are intended to help our customers who are running Microsoft Outlook 2002 to configure their software to be able to use their Email with us.

1) Open Outlook 2002
2) From the drop-down menus across the top of the screen, select Tools - Email Accounts



3) Choose Add a new email account, and then hit next.



4) Choose POP3 for the type of mail server and then click next.



5) Type your name as you want people to see it in their "FROM" area when they receive your message, in the Your Name: field. You do not have to put your full name -- you can use an alias or any nickname you would like to use.

6) Type your email address in the E-mail Address: field, this is your username with "@yourdomain.com" on the end, e.g. martha@yourdomain.com.

7) In the Incoming mail server (POP3): field type "mail.YOURDOMAIN.com". (replace YOURDOMAIN with your actual domain name :-)

8) In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP): field type the SMTP server for YOUR ISP. If you do not know what this is, you will need to contact your Internet Service Provider and ask them "What is the SMTP server that I need to use for my email?" ...or, go to their website and search their support area for this setting. (you may also use "mail.yourdomain.com" although it will not always work, as your ISP may be blocking the ports required.

9) In the User Name: field type your username that was given to you by SKL or by your domain administrator to login to your email account. (It is your actual email address name).
(Please remember this is case sensitive so if your username is all lower case you must type it that way.)

10) In the Password: field please enter your password.

11) Make sure that Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) is NOT checked.

12) Click on Next once you have completed these 7 steps above.



13) A new window will open with additional settings. Under the GENERAL tab...enter a name for your e-mail account. Usually this would be your email address "username@YOURDOMAIN.com". Also, fill in the reply email account with your ACTUAL email address.



14) You will not need to make changes to the outgoing server tab OR the advanced tab. However, under the connection tab you may need to select the option "Connect using a modem" if you use a dialup account to access the Internet. Once you have finished, click the OK button to close the window.



15) The next step is to TEST the accounts settings. Click the button to "Test Account Settings". This will do a simple test to make sure the program can connect to the server, so make sure you are on the Internet BEFORE doing this. Then, click next.



Click the FINISH button and you will have completed the setup.



You are now ready to send and receive email using Outlook 2002. For program function and features, consult your Outlook 2002 "Help" files, or contact Microsoft Technical Support Online at http://www.microsoft.com/Support/
