Outlook
2000 Setup
Open
the Accounts View
Because you can set up as
many mail accounts as you want, the Internet
Accounts dialog
box displays all your account information. To open it,
choose Tools,
Accounts from
the menu bar.
Create
a New Account
The Internet Accounts dialog
box has three tabs at the top. Click Mail
to see only your mail
accounts. (We'll talk about the Directory Services later.)
Choose Add to start creating a new account.
Answer
the Wizard's Questions
Answer the questions on
each page of the
Internet Connection Wizard, choosing
the Next button to move from one question to the next.
Enter
Your Server Names
You may have to verify some
of the wizard's questions. In particular, your
POP server
and
SMTP server
names are. Your pop server is mail.yourdomain.com and your
SMTP server
will be the one your isp uses. This information is
essential if Outlook is to properly connect to your mail
account for sending and retrieving mail.
Enter
Your Logon Name
In this section you will
need to enter the username and password of the account
that you are trying to check.
Example: If I
want to check
robby@mydomain.com the
username will be robby and the password will be the one I
set in the Domain Manager.
Choose
a Connection
Select the kind of Internet
connection that your computer uses. It's often convenient
to select Connect Using My
Local Area Network, even
if you use a modem to connect to the Internet.
Set
a Default Account
If you want to make your new
account the default for sending email, select the account name
and click the Set as
Default button.
