Setting Up Outlook 2000

1. 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.

2. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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 123@mydomain.com the username will be 123 and the password will be the one I set in the Domain Manager.

6. 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.
