  • If you clicked HTTP in the Account Type box, follow these steps:
    1. In the HTTP Service Provider box, click the appropriate service provider for this account. For example, click one of the following:
      • Hotmail
      • MSN
      • Other
    2. If you clicked Other in the HTTP Service Provider box, type the URL to the mailbox in the Server URL box.
  • Under Logon Information, follow these steps:
    1. In the User Name box, type your user name. The user name is usually the part of your e-mail address to the left of the at sign (@).
    2. In the Password box, type the password that your ISP provided.
    3. If you want Outlook to remember your e-mail account password, click to select the Remember password check box.
  • If your ISP requires it, click to select the Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) check box to log on by using Secure Password Authentication.
  • Click Test Account Settings. This feature calls a dialog box that displays, in a step-by-step manner, each phase of the testing of the configuration that you entered. When you click Test Account Settings, the following process occurs:
    • The connectivity of the system to the Internet is confirmed.
    • You are logged on to the SMTP server.
    • You are logged on to the POP3 server.
    • It is determined whether the POP3 server must be logged on to first. If it is required, Outlook automatically sets the Log on to incoming mail server before sending mail option.
    • A test message is sent. This message explains any changes that Outlook made to the initial setup.
  • If you want to modify your e-mail account any more, click More Settings to open the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box.
  • Click Next, and then click Finish.
