Outlook 2000 Setup Guide

Outlook 2000 is fairly easy to setup. First, select the tools menu then Accounts

Next, click on the ADD button and select MAIL

First it will ask for your name, enter the name you want to appear on all emails you send out then press the Next button.

Next it will ask for your email address. This is in the form of name@yourdomain.com (Ex. fred@abccompany.com). Once you have done this, press the Next button.

Now it will ask for some server settings. In this window, make sure POP3 is selected as the mail server type. In the Incoming mail server, enter mail.yourdomian.com (Ex. mail.abccompany.com) and in the Outgoing mail server enter mail.yourdomain.com (Ex. mail.abccompany.com). Now press the Next button.

In the next page, you need to enter your E-Mail account username (your e-mail address - Ex. john@abccompany.com) and password. If you want Outlook 2000 to remember your password so you dont have to type it each time to get your mail, place a tick in the box labelled Remember Password. Do not check the box Log on using Secure Password Authentication. Once this is setup, press the Next button.

Now you need to select the way that you want to connect to the internet to get your mail. To do this, either select:
Connect using my phone line if you use dial-up internet access or
Connect using my local area network (LAN), if you are in a office/business environment that has several computers connected to a network.
Then press Next.

You want to select to use your current Dial-Up provider connection, so choose Use an existing dial-up connection and select your current Dial-Up provider connection.
(This is not used for LAN - Network connections). Press the Next button.

Now simply press the Finish button and Outlook 2000 is all setup for use with Xstreme Media E-Mail!
