Please Note: This guide has been created using screenshots from Microsoft Outlook XP – if you are using a different version you may have some differences.
Step 1
Within Outlook go to the file menu and select ‘Tools’ and then ‘Email Accounts’
Step 2
Select ‘add new email account’ and select type ‘POP3’. You will be presented with the following fields to fill in:
User Information:
Your Name:
This is the name that will be displayed when sending your email
Email Address:
The email address people will reply to when receiving your email
Logon Information:
User Name:
The login you were provided by your host / email provider
with Glassraven email accounts this is your email address name eg: [email protected] – the login would be ‘name+yourdomain.com’
Password:
As assigned by your email provider
Server Information:
Incoming Server (POP3) & Outgoing Server (SMTP)
With Glassraven email accounts these values are both in the format mail.yourdomain.com
Step 3
When setting up Outlook to receive emails through a Glassraven hosted email address select the ‘more settings’ (in some versions this is ‘advanced settings’), and tick the box stating ‘my outgoing SMTP server requires authentication’, and ‘use the same settings as my incoming mail server’. Please ensure you only tick the box for outgoing mail.
And thats it – you should be ready to go!
