Generic Outlook 2007 Setup Instructions
The instructions below are generic and assume you are setting up a new account from scratch.
The procedure below will not affect your existing settings for other accounts you may have.
If you collect your email through an office network, consult your network administrator before making any changes to your Outlook configuration.
Instructions:
- Start Outlook.
- In Outlook, select the ‘tools’ menu at the top of the screen. From this menu select 'Account Settings'.
- Click 'New...'
- Select 'Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP' from the list of service types and click 'Next'.
- Tick 'Manually configure server settings or additional server types' at the foot of the form and click 'Next'.
- Select 'Internet E-mail' from the list of server types and click 'Next'.
- Filling out the account details form:
User Information section:
Next to 'Your Name' [A] type in the name that will be displayed when messages are sent (e.g. your own name or ‘sales dept’ etc.)
Next to 'E-Mail address' [B] type in your full email address.
Note that this is the address other people will see when you email them.
Server Information section:
Next to 'Incoming Mail Server' [C] type : mail.wizzydesign.net
Next to 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)' [D] type: mail.wizzydesign.net
Logon Information section:
Next to 'User name' [E] type: your full email address
Next to 'Password' [F] type: your POP3 password
Make sure "remember password" is ticked.
Be careful to type the password in the same case (i.e. if it has capital letters make sure you enter them as capitals – a common mistake is to leave the caps lock on which will prevent the password from being accepted).
Important: you are not finished yet! You must carry out the next four points or your email will not work!
- Click the 'More Settings...' button.
- Click on the 'Outgoing Server' tab.
- Turn on the 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication' option.
- Click OK.
- Make sure you are online and press the 'Test Account Settings...' button. If an error is reported, check you have entered all information correctly.
- Press "Finish".
You email program is now set up to receive email.
If you already had email accounts set up in Outlook, these will still work as they did before. You may wish to select which account it will use to send outgoing mail as default by highlighting the account and pressing the "Set as Default" button.
When composing a new email, you can select which of your email addresses the message will be sent from. This allows you to separate personal emails from business ones.
