Introduction

Setting up your POP account is a relatively easy procedure with most email clients, however, if not done exactly right, it can cause all sorts of frustration. For that reason, we have created this basic Step-by-Step page to help you out! Most email problems that people encounter are due to the incorrect information set up in their software.

1. Start by double-clicking your Outlook icon on your desktop.

2. From the navigation bar at the top, choose TOOLS -> EMAIL ACCOUNTS

If you do NOT have any email accounts configured, select "Add a new e-mail account" and then click Next>

3. On the E-mail Account dialog box, choose POP3, then click Next>

 

4. On the E-mail Account dialog box, you will need to complete all the "blanks" with your POP3 e-mail account information. In this example the person's name is Jane Doe. The reference to 'mydomain.com' should be replaced with YOUR Hosted Domain Name. The Logon Information is the Username and Password you have created within your Hosting Control Manager under the POP3 email accounts area. Once you have completed this dialog box, you can click TEST ACCOUNT SETTINGS to ensure you have setup your email account correctly, or you can proceed with Next>

 

5. Congratulations, you have set up Outlook 2000 to work with your hosting account, press "Finish".
