Creating an email account in Outlook

Once you have created an email account in C-Panel or Direct Admin, you will need to create a corresponding account in your mail program.  Although this tutorial is written specifically for Outlook, you will find that the procedure is very similar for other versions of Outlook, Outlook Express or even other mail clients such as Thunderbird or Eudora. Just be aware that some of the labels and buttons might be different.

Step 1: Open Outlook , click File in the top menu.

 

Step 2: Click on the Add Account Button

 

Step 3: Enter in your Email account in the text box and click Advanced Options and check the box that says ‘Let me set up my account manually’ the click Connect

 

Step 4: Select POP3.

 

Step 5: Enter your email password in. If you don’t know your email password, call us on 9907 3136 and we will help you reset it.

 

Step 6: After this outlook should automatically configure your incoming and outgoing servers. If you find that it doesn’t and requires you to input your incoming and outgoing servers see below for additional information on this.

POP

  • Best when you will be primarily accessing your email from a single location, like your office or home. When you leave your office or home, you can still access your email from a web browser.
  • Messages are downloaded to your computer, so you don’t need to worry about exceeding the size of your mailbox.
  • When accessing your email account through a web browser, you may not see previous messages that were downloaded to your desktop email client.

IMAP

  • Best when you will be accessing your email from multiple locations.
  • Allows you to create portable folders. These folders will appear in each email client you use to access your account. Your account will look the same at work, at home, and at your friend’s house.
  • Because your email messages are stored on the server, you must monitor your mailbox size and delete messages to avoid exceeding your mailbox size.
