Email Set-up For Outlook 2000

Step 1

Select Tools then Accounts option from the menu bar after starting Microsoft Outlook.

Step 2

Press the "Mail" tab then click the "add" button.

Step 3

Select "Mail" as the service to add.

Step 4

Enter the Name as you would like it to appear on the emails that you send from this account.

This does not have to match your username or email address so you can add anything you like.

Step 5

Enter the reply email address to be used for this account - if this is the main catch-all email account for your domain name, any name can be used @yourdomainname as the reply address.
If this is an extra mailbox please refer to the account instructions for the mailbox and use one of the aliases that have been specified (although the account can receive mail addressed to all 3 aliases chosen your email software will only allow you to specify one reply address for this account).

Step 6

Select the type of mail account as "POP3".

Enter the mail server as mail.yourdomainame ie. if your domain name was mydomain.co.uk then the mail server would be mail.mydomain.co.uk.
Enter the SMTP address (send mail server) of the ISP you will be using to access the internet, you may be able to find this from the existing accounts you have set-up in this software or by contacting your ISP (their FAQ pages may be a useful place to start).

Alternatively you can use your domains server, just enter your domain name without www. However, this is not as reliable as your internet providers STMP address.

Eg. mydomain.co.uk

Step 7

Enter the email address and password detailed on the e-mail provided by SiteWeavers. Remember to follow case sensitivity and do not allow extra spaces to be added on the end of the username or password.

Please ensure you DO NOT check the allow Secure Password Authentication field.

Step 8

If you need to change any settings later eg change smtp because you have changed ISP, you can edit the properties of the account using Tools, Mail and Properties.

Click the Servers tab to review and/or modify the smtp server as necessary

Once back at the Internet Accounts Box, Choose Properties.

Server Authentication

Choose the Servers tab. Under the Outgoing Mail Server section, place a checkmark next to "My server requires authentication".

Note: The default setting for server authentication is to use the same settings as your incoming mail server. Therefore, you will not need to change anything in the settings for server authentication.
