Retrieving E-mail with Outlook 2000
This page will teach you how to set up Outlook 2000 to retrieve e-mail from your OfficeOnWeb POP accounts. To
configure Outlook, follow the instructions below.
- Open Microsoft Outlook 2000 and choose "Tools" from the menu bar.
- Choose "Services" and click.
- Click on the "Add" button and then on "Internet E-mail".
- The Mail Account Properties box will pop up, and on the General tab fill in the following information (yourbiz.com is the
name of YOUR domain):
Server Names: any name you like (recommended: OfficeOnWeb e-mail)
Name: your first and last name
Organization: your company name
E-mail Address: youraddress@yourbiz.com
Reply Address: youraddress@yourbiz.com
- Click on the "Servers" tab and fill in the following information:
Incoming (POP3) Server: yourbiz.com
Outgoing (SMTP) Server: yourbiz.com
or smtp.safepages.com (if you have our dial up )
OR your ISP alternative designation (earthlink.net if you have earthlink dial up, etc.)
Account Name: your user ID
Password: your password
Be sure that Secure Password Authentication and that Outgoing Authentication must not be selected.
- Click on the Connection tab. If you want to log onto your ISP and then check your mail, choose the option "I will establish
connection manually". If you are in an office environment where Internet connection is provided through the network, select "Connect through the LAN". If you want Outlook Express
to dial into your ISP for you, then choose "Connect using my phone line". (If you choose the latter, you will need to contact your ISP for instructions on configuring your dialer.) If
we are your ISP, we have online instructions at:
http://support.officeonweb.com/domain_server_numbers.htm
- Click on "Finish" and then on "Close".
- Now to retrieve your mail, open Outlook, choose "Tools" from the menubar and select "Send and Receive".
You can also use the "Send and Receive" button if it is on your toolbar. Remember, you must always "Send and Receive" before you are able to send any messages out. If
you have not updated your client, it is posible to get into an endless loop that the send is tried before the receive. In this case, you must copy the outgoing messages into another directory, send and
receive, then use the information to recreate the messages and send them again. If you lose connections due to any reason, bad phone line, noise, or other problem, you will need to repeat the process.
Footnote: Some releases of Outlook 2000 contain an error that prevents you from sending out e-mail. If
you experience this problem, you may need to update your system to correct the problem.
