Setting up Email Accounts

When using Outlook Express or Outlook 98/2000

Open Outlook Express

Choose Tools | Accounts

Click on the Add button, then select Mail.

Enter the mail account name in the Display Name field. Usually this will be your full name e.g.Tom Lewis. Don't just enter Tom or recipients won't know which Tom the email is from. For generic email addresses (like sales@) enter the full email address here, e.g. sales@yourdomain.co.uk.

Click the Next button to continue.

In the Internet Email Address dialog box enter the actual email address to be used. This must start with an identifier made of normal characters and dots and must end in @ followed by your domain name. The following are legal email addresses:

tom@yourdomain.co.uk

tomlewis@yourdomain.co.uk

tom.lewis@yourdomain.co.uk

t.tewis@yourdomain.co.uk

sales@yourdomain.co.uk

but

tom lewis@yourdomain.co.uk

isn't legal because of the space. Note email addresses aren't case sensitive. Click Next to continue.

In the E-mail Server Names dialog box leave the first field as POP3, and enter mail.itpartnership.com in both the other fields, then press Next.

In the Mail Logon dialog box enter your full email address in the Account name field: i.e. in this case you would enter tom@yourdomain.co.uk.
Don't omit the @yourdomain.co.uk.

In the Password field enter your password. We often set this to 123. Make sure there is a tick in the Remember Password tick box. Then click the Next button and Finish.

You will return to the the Internet Accounts dialog box as below:

Select the new entry labeled mail.itpartnerhip.com and press the Properties button

Change the first field on the General tab from mail.itpartnerhip.com to the mail account name, Tom Lewis in this case Then click on the Servers tab, and put a tick in the My server requires authentication field, as shown below.

Click on the Connection tab if you need to setup how this email account connects to the Internet.

Click OK to save your changes and return to the Internet Accounts dialog, and click Close to return to the Outlook main screen. Now you can send and receive emails using the new mail account.
