Outlook 2002/XP Setup Instructions

Our Microsoft Outlook 2002 tutorial shows how to setup Outlook 2002 to retrieve email from your Frontpage accounts.

1. Open Microsoft Outlook 2002

2. Select "Tools" from the menu bar, then Select "E-mail Accounts".  
   

3. The screen below should appear.  Under the "E-mail" heading, be sure that "Add a new e-mail account" is selected by clicking on the appropriate circle.  Then click "Next >" button in the bottom right hand of the window.
   

4. The next screen will appear, asking you to choose the type of server. Select "POP3" by clicking on the circle next to "POP3", and then click the "Next >" button in the bottom right hand of the window.
   

5. On the next screen, you will be asked for your e-mail settings:
   Under "User Information"
   Your Name: John Doe 
   E-mail Address: johndoe@yourdomain.com
   Under "Server Information":
   Your incoming mail server is a POP3 and its name is mail.yourdomain.com
   Your outgoing mail server is mail.yourISP.com (or possibly smtp.yourISP.com - you will find your ISP's exact smtp server name on their web site)
   Under "Logon Information":
   Enter in the User Name (your full email address) and Password that was issued to you by Frontpage.
   User id: user@yourdomain.com
   Password: provided
   
   

6. Click the "Next >" button in the bottom right hand of the window.

7. When the next window opens, click the "Finish" button in the bottom right hand of the window.

8. Now to retrieve your mail, in the Outlook 2002 window, choose "Tools" from the menu bar, then select "Send and Receive".

Can't send email?

Click on the 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication', then click OK
If you have checked authentication and it still won't send use your Internet connection provider's SMTP server. Enter the SMTP address in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) field. For example, mail.earthlink.net.
