3. Outlook (Instructions
are for Outlook 2002)
You may also set up your email account in Microsoft Outlook,
Outlook Express, or in a similar program. We may need to
contact your local Internet Service Provider (ISP) to find
out a few settings. (Many of you in Peru use
Terra as your ISP.) If you already use email in Outlook,
that probably won't be necessary.
If you already use Outlook, read on.
If you do not use Outlook for email please contact me so we
can discover your settings. I will probably need the website
of your ISP since they often post instructions on their site.

To set up Outlook:
Step A:
1) Go to Tools > E-mail Accounts > View or change
existing e-mail accounts.
2) Select your current email account
(e.g. through Terra)
and click "Change" (Don't worry, we won't
actually change anything)
3) Write down the address listed
after "Outgoing
mail server (SMTP):"
4) Click on "More Settings"
5)
Click on the "Outgoing Server" tab.
6) Note whether "My
outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" is checked.
If it is, write down the address listed there. It will be
some or all of your email address.
7) Cancel out of the Internet
E-mail Settings page.
Step B (To add a new e-mail account):
1) Go to Tools > E-mail Accounts > Add a new e-mail
account > POP3
2) Fill in the Internet E-mail Settings (POP3) page with
the following information:
Your Name: Whatever you want to appear as the sender of
your e-mails.
E-mail Address: your full abweperu.org address (***@abweperu.org)
User Name: your full address again
Password: your abweperu.org password
Click the box for "Remember password"
Incoming mail server (POP3): mail.abweperu.org
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): the same address in this blank
as you wrote down in Step A.3.
3) Click on "More Settings"
4) In the first blank you may change "mail.abweperu.org" to
whatever name you would like to use in Outlook to identify
the account. I usually use the first part of my email address:
jastone, media, etc.
5) Click on the "Outgoing Server" tab.
6) If "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" was
checked in Step A.6 then check it here and copy in the same
address and password as in the other account.
7) Copy in the username and password provided by your ISP.
8) Cancel out of the Internet E-mail Settings page.
You should be ready to send and receive. (If you check multiple
accounts in Outlook see Note #1.) |
