How to set up an email account in Microsoft Outlook

In this article we will outline the steps to set up a new email account in Outlook, so that you'll be able to send and receive emails to and from that new email account. This articles assumes that you've already created your new email account in Plesk Panel. If you have not already done that please refer to the relevant article in the Plesk section of our Knowledge Base.

Note: this tutorial assumes you are using Outlook 2007, however the process should be similar in other versions of Outlook.

Follow the steps below to set up your email account:

1. Click the "Tools" menu, then click "Account Settings"
2. The Email Accounts window appears. Click the "New" button.
3. Enter the Name as you would like it to appear in the From field of outgoing emails, then enter your new email address.
4. Enter your Email Password and Retype your password.
5. Check "Manually configure server settings or additional server types" to manually configure your server settings and click "Next".
6. Ensure the Internet Email option is selected. Then click "Next" again.
7. Under "Account Type", choose POP3.
8. Now enter your Incoming (POP3) and Outgoing (SMTP) server settings.
9. Enter the username of your mail account (this is your email address).
10. Then enter your email password.
11. Click on the "More Settings" tab.
12. Click the "Outgoing Server tab.
13. Check the box for SMTP Authentication. For SMTP authentication you should use the same username and password as for the incoming server settings, so just leave this selected (SMTP authentication means that Outlook will login to your mail server even when sending emails (not just receiving), ensuring that you are the only one that can send emails from your account.)
14. Click "OK"
15. Click "Next".
16. Then click "Finish".
    
    

This completes the process of setting up an email account, and you can now start sending and receiving emails to and from that account with Outlook.
