Outlook 2003: Adding an Account

Using Microsoft Outlook 2003 with Your Email

You can always use Web-Based Email to send and receive email messages. But you also can view your email with an email client. To access your email through Microsoft Outlook®, add an account with the settings outlined below.

This article focuses on setting up Microsoft Outlook 2003, but these settings are similar in other versions of Microsoft Outlook. You can set up previous versions of Microsoft Outlook by using the settings in this tutorial.

Before You Start:

You need the names of your incoming and outgoing servers to set up email with a client. Web-Based Email contains this information.

1. Log in to Web-Based Email at email.secureserver.net.
2. From the Help menu, select Email Client Settings.
3. Make a note of your incoming and outgoing server information.
4. Continue with the procedures outlined below to set up your email client.

To Use Microsoft Outlook 2003 with Your Email

1.) Open Outlook. Click on Tools and choose Email Accounts

2.) On the Email Accounts wizard window, select Add a new e-mail account and click Next.

3.) For your server type, select POP or IMAP, and then click Next

4.) Complete the fields for the Internet Email Settings window, and then click More Settings

5.) On the Outgoing Server tab, select My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.

Select Use same settings as my incoming mail server. If you changed the user name and password in the SMTP relay section of your Manage Email Accounts page, select "Log on using" and enter the user name and password. The example below assumes you did not change your SMTP relay section in your Manage Email Accounts page.
