  5. Here you’ll need to enter your name, email address, user name, password and mail server info. If you’re unsure of your mail server names, refer to the article titled Broadband ISP Email Server Settings. When each of the fields is filled in, click the More Settings… button.

  7. Select the Outgoing Server tab and place a check in the box labeled My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication. Make sure that Use same settings as my incoming mail server is selected. This step may not be required by your ISP, yet, but more and more are making it a requirement. And even if it’s not required, it’s still a good idea. Click OK to return to the previous settings window.

  14. Notice that one of the first messages you’ll download is a ‘test message’ that Outlook actually sent itself (this was the test performed back in step 6). This message can of course be deleted.
