Outlook 2000 QuickStart

Configuring your MIS Email Account with Outlook 2000

This assumes that Outlook is configured in Internet Mail Only Mode and Not Corporate/Workgroup Mode, to determine which mode outlook is configured in, Click on Help/About Outlook.

1. Open Outlook 2000. Click on the "Tools" menu and select "Accounts".
 
   
2. In the "Internet Accounts" dialogue, select the "Mail" tab.
   
3. Click "Add", and select "Mail".
 
   
4. Now Outlook's new account wizard will start and launch a new window. Enter the name you would like to appear in your emails' "From" field in the "Display Name" box, and click "Next".
 
   
5. In the "Email Address" field, enter your MIS email address for the account you're setting up, and click "Next".
 
   
6. For the "My incoming mail server is a...server", choose "POP3" (If you are familiar with IMAP and would prefer to use it instead you can choose "IMAP" instead.) In the "Incoming Mail (POP3 or IMAP)" field, enter your mail server name (this is provided with your account information). Likewise, enter your outgoing (SMTP) mail server name from your QuickStart in the "Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server" box. Click "Next".
 
   
7. Next, enter your email username (from your QuickStart) in the "Account Name" box, and email password in the "Password" box. Make sure "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" is unchecked, and click "Next".
 
   
8. In the next window, select your internet connection method, and click "Next".
   
9. In the last screen, click "Finish" to save your settings and complete the account setup.
 
   
10. You must now configure outlook to use SMTP Authentication for sending email through our servers. To do this, follow the instructions listed here. (Outlook uses the same method as Outlook Express for SMTP Authentication.)
