Email Set-Up – OUTLOOK

Outlook Express Mail Settings

*Very Important! For Standard hosting accounts and higher. Before setting up your email in Outlook Express, you will use the Online Postmaster Account to create and configure the new email account. If you have a Budget hosting account, use your "Siteadmin" (www.domain.com/siteadmin) to configure your email users. Step 1. From the top menu select "Tools" then "Accounts" (fig 01a). A new window will pop up with some addtional options, to add a new account press on the "Add.." button and then "Mail..." from the submenu that will appear (fig 01b).

Step 4. Enter mail.needa.com as your Incoming Mail Server and your ISP's SMTP mail server as the Outgoing. Typically your ISP's SMTP server will be named "mail.yourISP.com" or "smtp.yourISP.com". You should be able to find the name of their mail server on their website or by calling them. Some examples ( email.msn.com , smtp.earthlink.com , smtp.mindspring.com ) If you already have an existing email account with your ISP, simply look at the properties of that account and copy ONLY the "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" to your settings. Please contact us at supportDHS@designsinmotion.net if you have trouble setting this up. (Fig.04)
