Microsoft Outlook 2003

March 18, 2010

In Microsoft Outlook 2003, click on the Tools menu option and select Email Accounts as shown below.

The E-mail Accounts wizard will now show.  The ‘Add a new e-mail account’ option should be selected automatically.  If not, select it before continuing the wizard.

When the ‘Server Type’ screen appears, select the POP3 option if its not already selected and continue the wizard.

When the ‘Internet E-mail Settings (POP3)’ screen appears, enter your name and email address.  Your user name is your email address and the password is the one provided by us if one wasn’t requested or the one you requested.

In the Server Information section, enter ‘mail.yourdomain.com’ or ‘mail.thetechpros.com’ for both the Incoming and Outgoing mail servers.

Before continuing, click the ‘More Settings’ button to configure advance options.

Select the ‘Outgoing Server’ tab and be sure to put a check mark in the ‘My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication’ option.

Now select the ‘Advanced’ tab.  Change the Outgoing server (SMTP) port to 587.  The default is 25 and most ISP block that port which is why we are changing it to 587.

Now click OK to close the dialog box.  You have now completed the setup of your email account.  You should see a screen like the one below.  Just click finish and you’re all set.
