How To Set Up Your Outlook E-mail Account

If you receive several emails in a day, it would better to use an email client to get the job done instead of using webmail services like Gmail or Outlook webmail. Email programs like MS Outlook have many different productivity apps that will help you with your daily tasks and allows you to handle your work well.

If you have an internet connection at home, you can setup email in Outlook to channel all your emails through the email client. You can setup multiple accounts and can manage them all at once and setting up the email account requires this process only once.

To setup the Outlook account, here is what you have to do:

• Open Outlook from the Start menu, which is brought up by clicking on the Start icon.
• Once Outlook has loaded, click on Tools and then select Account Settings. This will bring up the Account Settings dialog box.
• Click on the Email tab to bring up all the email account settings.
• Click on Add New Email Account. This will bring up a wizard that will help you setup email in Outlook.
• Fill in all the relevant details, making sure all the details are accurate. If any of the information is false, you will not be able to successfully register.
• Once you have filled in the required information, click on Next. Outlook will now try to automatically configure your email account.

If it succeeds, you will get a Congratulations message and you will be able to access all your emails. If not, you will have to make the following changes:

• Click on Manually Configure Server Settings. This will bring up advanced settings for the Server type.
• Click on the radio button for the Server type and select the server type that your email provider requires.
• Click on Next to see the next configuration screen and type in the settings that your email provider requires. A simple Google search will reveal you the required settings.
• Click the Test Account Settings button. It will ping the Outlook server to check if all your settings are right. Click on Close when you are done.
• Click Next and then Finish when you see the Congratulations message.
