Retrieving
email with Outlook
Our Microsoft
Outlook tutorial shows how to setup Outlook to retrieve email from your
Stellar Design accounts. To configure Outlook, follow the simple
instructions below.
Open Microsoft
Outlook and choose "Tools" from the menu bar.
Choose "Accounts" and click on the mail tab when the
"Internet Accounts" manager window appears.
Click on the "Add" button and then on "Mail". The
Internet Connection Wizard will walk you through the setup process.
First, it will ask for a display name. Normally your mail has these
headers:
to: joe@schmoe.com
from: bob@aol.com
Choosing a display name of "Robert G. Davis" will result in
these headers on your outgoing mail:
to: joe@schmoe.com
from: Robert G. Davis <bob@aol.com>
Next, the wizard asks for your email address that you want people to reply
to. Typing bob@aol.com here would result in the above headers on your
outgoing mail.
Next you are asked for your server information. Your incoming mail server
is a POP3 and its name is mail.yourdomainname.com (e.g. mail.schmoe.com).
We recommend using the SMTP server of your ISP but if that fails to
operate properly, you may use your domain name here instead.
Next is your account name on our system. If your base userID on our system
(the one that you use to ftp and telnet with) is bob, then your account
name will be bob with a number following. If your email address of jane@yourdomain.com
was the fourth account to be setup, then the account name is bob4. Enter
your password, do NOT choose SPA and click next.
Next, it will
ask for an account name that Outlook will use to refer to this particular
account, you can choose whatever you want but we recommend something like
"My Stellar Design account".
If you log onto your ISP and then check your mail, choose "I will
establish connection manually". If you want Outlook to dial into your
ISP for you, then choose "Connect using my phone line". If you
choose the latter, you will need to contact your ISP for instructions on
configuring your dialer.
Click on "Finish" and then on "Close".
Now to retrieve
your mail, in the Outlook 98 window, choose "Tools" from the
menu bar.
Then select
"Send and Receive".
