Got your new hosting account, anxious to start emailing everyone but cannot understand what your service provider means?

A lot of clients have asked for help in setting up an email account so I have put together a *step by step* guide for Microsoft Outlook. If you still need help, please email me.

Step 1: Launch Microsoft Outlook and select *Tools* from the main top menu*. Select *Email Accounts* from the drop down menu. A pop up window will appear - select *Add a new e-mail account* - click *Next*

Step 2: Select *POP 3′ from the list and then click *Next*

Step 3:

-User Information: Enter your name and email address.

-Logon Information: Enter your user name (usually your entire email address) and the password assigned.

-Server Information:

Your incoming mail server will be given to you by your email hosting company and will be something like - *mail.your-isp.com.au*. If you haven*t got this information, ask your Internet service provider.

Outgoing mail server: This will be the address given to you by your internet access provider. It may be something like - mail.bigpond.net

Please note: If you have a separate internet account to your email/web hosting, the outgoing address will differ.

-Click on *Test Account Settings* - a new pop up window will show the progress.

-If there are no errors, you will see a *congratulations* message.
