Guide to Setting Up Email Accounts in Outlook

This guide describes the steps needed to configure your email accounts in Microsoft Outlook so that you can send, receive, and save email using your own email address with your own domain name (i.e. jow.blow@yourdomain.com). If you have a website hosted through Turton Consulting, you will have your own email and you will not need to rely on other email accounts such as Gmail or Hotmail.

Configuring Outlook:

1. Get the following from your contact at Turton Consulting:
   - domain name (i.e. yourdomain.com)
   - email address (i.e. jow.blow@yourdomain.com)
   - email password
   - Incoming and outgoing mail server names
   - SMPT Port
   
2. Open Outlook 2010
3. Click on the File Menu item and then Add Account.
4. Select Manually configure server settings or additional server types, then click Next.
5. Select Internet E-Mail.
6. Under User Information, enter Your Name, E-Mail Address from Step 1.
7. Under Server Information, select IMAP for Account Type and enter the incoming and outgoing mail servers from Step 1.
8. Under Logon Information, enter your email address for the User Name and enter in your password from Step 1. Check off Remember password.
9. Click on the More Settings button.
10. Click on the Outgoing Server tab and check off My outgoing server (STMP) requires authentication and select Use same settings as my incoming mail server.
11. Click OK.
12. Test your connection.

Windows Live Mail:

If you do not own a copy of Microsoft Outlook, you can download a similar product from Microsoft for free. It’s called Windows Live Mail and it allows you to add multiple email accounts, organize conversations, contacts and calendars, and search your inbox, just like Outlook would.
