Step 9 :
a. Click the Outgoing Server tab.
b. Click the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication box.
c. Click the Use same settings as my incoming mail server radio button. |
Step 10 : If you want to be able to send and receive mail at more than one location - for instance from both home and work, you will need to configure MS Outlook to 'Leave mail on the server' for a specific number of days. Specify the number of days to leave email on the server. Having Outlook remove files (email) from the server will enhance download performance and decrease the possibility of you having mail issues such as 'oversized mail' or a 'corrupted inbox.' To configure Outlook to leave mail on the server so you can check your mail from other machines, do the following:
Click on the Advanced tab.
UnCheck the box next to the words Leave a copy of messages on server .
UnCheck the box next to the words Remove from server after _ days .
We recommend entering a number somewhere between 5 to 14 days to leave mail on the server.
|
 |
| Step 11 : Check the box Remove from server when deleted from the 'Deleted Items . ' This option allows you to immediately trash email from the server by emptying the 'Deleted Items' folder. The next time you check mail, the messages trashed will be removed from the server. |
| Step 12 : Click OK. |
| Step 13 : Click Next , then click Finish.
|
 |
| Outlook should now be configured to send and receive email via your account. |
