- Fill in information about the mail server, then click Next. F
E-mail Address: .............................. youremailaddress@yourdomainname.com
Incoming Mail Server: ....................mail.yoursitecontrolpanel.com
Outgoing Mail Server: .................... mail.yoursitecontrolpanel.com
- The next page asks for your account name and password. Outlook can save your password for you or ask you for your password everytime you check your mail. You can Manage your email address and password in your control panel by going to Company Info and selecting Email Accounts.
Account Name: ................................ youremailaddress@yourdomainname.com
Password: ....................................... your password
- The last page of the setup asks for your connection method. Select the option which matches your internet connection type. Then click Finish.
If you'd like to keep your email messages on the email server as well as saving them locally, see below for the configuration. Otherwise, hit the Send/Receive button to retrieve your mail.
Retaining Mail on a Remote Server
Outlook needs to be further configured if you would like to keep a copy of downloaded messages on the remote server.
- Go to Tools | Accounts.
- Select the account you would like to change and click Properties.
- Select the Advanced tab along the top.
- Finally, check the box at the bottom by "Leave a
copy of messages on server."
Now when you retrieve your mail, the mail will also stay on the server in case you do not have access to the local copies of the emails. HOWEVER, be careful with this option because leaving the messages on the remote server means that you can quickly reach your mail quota. If your mailbox size surpasses the quota, you will be unable to recieve further emails.
