Follow the steps described below to use
Microsoft Outlook 2003 to send/receive emails from your Email account.
1. Start Microsoft Outlook 2003. On the Tools menu, click
E-mail Accounts.
2. Select Add a new e-mail account and
click Next.
3. Under Server Type, click the
appropriate incoming mail server type and then click Next.
4. Under the User Information area, type the name
that you want others to see when you send a message, in the Your Name
field. Incase you selected POP3 as the incoming mail server in the above step,
enter the Incoming mail server as pop.yourdomainname.com. If you selected IMAP
as the incoming mail server,
then the mail server you need to use is imap.yourdomainname.com. The SMTP server
address in any case will be entered as smtp.yourdomainname.com. Type your
complete email
address and the corresponding password in the User
Name and
Password boxes respectively under Logon Information.
5. Now click More Settings button and select
the Outgoing Server tab. Here you need to check the My outgoing server (SMTP)
requires authentication checkbox. Once that is entered, click OK.
6. Click Finish to close the E-mail
Accounts dialog box.
7. Now under Send/Receive button, click
Send/Receive All and the mails will be downloaded.
IMPORTANT
Usually, the port used for the Outgoing Mail
Server/SMTP Service is 25. However, there might be a situation where your ISP
might be blocking the use of port 25 for SMTP service. Many ISPs block port 25
in order to minimize the amount of spam sent using their network. If you are
facing issues sending mails using the default port 25, you can confirm with
your ISP whether port 25 is indeed blocked by them.
To circumvent this, ResellerClub
allows you to use an alternate port 2525 for sending mails if
port 25 is blocked -
a. In Microsoft Outlook 2003, on the Tools
menu, click E-mail Accounts.
b. Select View or
change existing email accounts and click Next.
c. Select the email account
you wish to modify and click Change.
d. In
the Internet E-mail Settings section, click More Settings.
e. Under the Advanced tab, replace the default
port number 25 with the alternate port number 2525 in the field provided for
Outgoing server (SMTP).
f. Click OK, Next and then Finish to save
the changes.
