This tutorial describes how to use Microsoft Outlook with ES CONSULTING GROUP'S  POP3/SMTP e-mail accounts.

Follow these steps to complete the tutorial:

  1. You can access the Outlook e-mail account setup program by opening Outlook and then by going to the "Tools" menu, choosing the "Accounts..." option, clicking the "Add" button, and choosing "Mail..."

    Click the 'Add a new e-mail account' box and then click 'Next >'

  3. The next screen will prompt you for your name and e-mail address. For this example we'll use a fictitious user 'John Smith' and his domain 'johnsmith.com'.

    Enter 'mail.yourdomain.com' for both incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail servers.

    For the username enter your FULL E-MAIL ADDRESS (i.e. you@yourdomain.com) and password in the box provided.

  4. That's it! Just click 'Finish' and you are ready to send and receive e-mail. The Outlook Mail tutorial is now complete.

    NOTE: We use a system that requires you to first check your e-mail before sending. This allows the server to authenticate your account and allow you to send mail (a 15 minute window is open to send when you check mail). If you setup the e-mail client to simply check e-mail every few minutes you should never notice this restriction.

    Given this restriction you should run through the 'Test Account Settings...' twice to check your account settings.

  5. We also offer secure POP3 e-mail retrieval over SSL. It's very easy to use and will safely send your e-mail password over the net to our mail server and encrypt all transfers from our mail server to your computer. We highly recommend using secure e-mail and all you have to do to use it is check the 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)' checkbox under "Incoming Mail (POP3)" in the advanced Settings portion of the e-mail account properties.

    You can find this setting by choosing the "Tools" menu, clicking on "Accounts...", then double clicking on your account name and choosing the "Advanced" tab at the top of the window.
