Adding an Email Account

Outlook 2003

  • Go to Tools -> Email Accounts.
  • Select Add a new email account and click on Next.
  • Select IMAP and click on Next.
  • Enter the information into the form as follows:
    • Your Name - As you would like it to be seen by the recipient of the email.
    • Email Address - Your email address. Be careful. Any typos will mean replies to your emails may go astray.
    • Username & password - You should have been told this by us.
    • Incoming Server Name & Outgoing Server Name - The name we have given your server.
  • Click on More Settings and then on the Outgoing Server tab.
  • Tick My outgoing server requires authentication, and select Use the same settings as my incoming mail server.
  • Click OK and then Next, and then Finish.

If all is well, you should be asked if you want to retrieve a list of folders from the server. Answer yes, and the software should start to download your emails.
