Setting up an email account in Microsoft Outlook
Setting
up the first email account in Outlook
These directions are for
Microsoft Outlook XP and may differ slightly in Outlook 2003 or 2000.
Turn on your computer and
log in. In windows, if users don’t log in separately, their email will go in
the same mailbox. If that is ok, just open windows as you normally do. If you
need to set up separate windows logon’s for all users of the computer. You do
this by going to the Control Panel and clicking on users. If you want
instructions on how to set up a separate windows account you can request that
information from
john@perfectdatasystems.com or call 561-741-7875.
Find the Microsoft Outlook
icon on the desktop (I recommend Outlook over outlook express if it is available
because you can do so much more with it.)
Double click on it and it will open outlook.
If you are setting up your
own computer and you have never used outlook before you will get a startup
screen. If you have other accounts set up in outlook it will open to your
inbox. Follow the procedure below called “Adding Accounts to Outlook”.
Otherwise you will get a wizard which will ask if you want to set up an email
account. Click yes to get to the email accounts setup screen.
Select POP3 and click Next>
