How Do I Configure My Email?

For Outlook 2000

Note: If you are using a business network, please consult your network administrator before configuring or creating any email accounts.

To set up your email accounts with Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express, simply follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express

2. Click Tools from the menubar, and select Accounts :

3. Select the Mail tab along the top. The click on Add and choose Mail .

4. In the Display Name box, type the name that you want others to see when you send a message, and then click Next.

5. Type in the Email Address of your account (for example, yourname@yourdomain.com). Then click Next.

6. The E-mail Server Names page will then appear:

Ensure that the type of server selected is POP3. Then enter the Incoming and Outgoing mail servers. For example:

Incoming Mail Server (POP3): mail.speedy.uk.net
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): This will be supplied by your internet provider.

Then click Next to continue.

7. Login Information

This is the same Username & password that you used to login to this website portal and provided when you registered - Forgotten Username/Password? Click Here

Select Remember Password so that you don't need to re-enter your password every time you check your Email. Leave Secure Password Authentication unselected.

Click Next to continue.

8. You will be asked which method you want to use to connect to the Internet.

Select either:

• Connect using my phone line
  Microsoft Outlook will automatically dial and hang up. Select this if you use a modem to connect to your internet account.
• Connect using my local area network (LAN)
  Use this if you have a permanent connection, such as an office network or ADSL.
• I will establish my Internet connection manually
  You will need to dial up the Internet by using the ‘dialup networking' icon of Windows before Outlook is able to check for Email.
  
  If you choose to manually connect to the Internet, be aware that you must also close the connection manually – it will not automatically disconnect.
  
  We cannot be held responsible for Internet connections left open.

9. Click Next and then click Finish. Your Email is now available from Outlook!
