How do I use Outlook 2000 to retrieve
my email?
Microsoft Outlook 2000 may be configured to retrieve your email messages
from your email account at your domain name. Once Outlook is configured
for your email account, you can send and receive email using this program,
as well as set up processing rules and organize your email messages on
your desktop. The following outlines a basic procedure to perform this
configuration.
Step 1
Launch the Outlook 2000 program. Select Tools/Accounts from the menu bar.
Step 2
This should bring you to the screen labeled Internet Accounts. Click on "Add... " A
new screen, Add Mail Account.
Step 3
The window, Mail Account Properties, will be generated. In the "General" menu,
fill in the appropriate information. You will need to give the profile
a name by which it may be identified under "Mail Account" and
then indicate a friendly name and company name for your email address account.
Under "Email address" be sure to enter your new email address.
Step 4
Now select the "Servers" tab.
In the "incoming mail (POP3)" section enter mail.yourdomain.com
e.g. the settings we use is mail.jjsolutions.ie.
In the "Outgoing mail (SMTP)" field enter your mail server -
mail.yourdomain.com
Under "Account name" and "Password" enter the full
address of your email account and the corresponding password. e.g. [email protected]
Check the "Remember password" box so that you need not authenticate
yourself each time you check your email.
Step 5
Now select "Connection" and choose the type of Internet connection
that you use for the your computer. You may leave the "Advanced" tab
with its default settings.
Step 6
You are now finished with the configuration! Click on "Apply" to
invoke the changes you have made, and you may now click on the Send/Receive
button on the main panel (see Step 1) to download your email from your
Mail account.
