The following instructions cover typical usage of Outlook and assume the software has been installed correctly on your system.

The instructions are only for individuals with a direct Internet connection, by modem or network. If you are behind a firewall or proxy server, the information below may not work. Consult your network administrator for more information.

Setting Up Your Email Account (or client)

Open Outlook.
Click Tools on the menu bar.
Click Accounts in the Tools menu (See Figure 1).
Click Add.
Click Mail in the Internet Accounts box (See Figure 2).
Complete the following fields in the Internet Connection Wizard window:
- Display Name - The name that will display on an email sent using this profile.
- Email Address - The email address that will display on an email sent using this profile.
- Reply Address - The email address to which replies will be sent.
- Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - The mail server from which email for this profile is to be retrieved.
  - "mail.yourdomain.com". (example: mail.jwnetsource.com)
- Outgoing Mail Serve (SMTP) - The mail server through which email sent using this profile will go.
  - You should use your ISP's outgoing mail server. Many ISPs block port 25 (email server port) in an attempt to block email spammers. In some cases you may be able to use your mail server, which is: "mail.yourdomain.com".
- Account Name - The account name that you have been assigned to access your email. The name assigned here does not display on outgoing email. It is simply for access to your email account and is typically your first name initial and your last name (John Doe would use jdoe).
- Password - The password for the above account.
- Connection Method - The method you connect to the Internet. Select the option by which you connect to the Internet. Use "Connect using my phone line" if you would like to have outlook dial for you. Use "Connect using Internet Explorer's 3rd party dialer" if you would like to connect manually or if you use AOL as your ISP.
Click OK on the Internet Accounts box when you have completed the Internet Connection Wizard.

With Outlook 2000, you can setup additional mail accounts for every mailbox from which you need to retrieve mail.

There are many more options available in Outlook. See the software's documentation for more information on the advanced options.
