Setting up Outlook Express

Hello Everyone

Here are the instructions for setting up Outlook Express to get email from your REW hosted email account.

If you haven't previously set up Outlook it will prompt you with the New Mail Account Wizard when you open it. If it doesn't, Go to the Tools menu -> Accounts. Go to the Mail tab and click the Add button on the right and select Mail.

Step 1

Enter your Name as you would like it to appear on outgoing mail.

Step 2

Enter your email address.

Step 3

Enter your mail servers. These will be mail.yourdomain.com. Select POP3 for your incoming server.

Step 4

Enter your account name. This is your full email address.

Enter your password.

Click Finish.

Step 5

Now we need to change some other settings. In the Tools menu go to Accounts. Now go to the Mail tab.

Double click on your mail account.

Step 6

On the mail tab under Outgoing Mail Server check the box for My server requires authentication.

Step 7

On the Advanced tab change the port for your Outgoing server to 587.

Done!

You should now be able to send and receive email.
