How
do I use Outlook 2000 to retrieve my email?
hosting365.ie offers step by step, screen
shot instructions on how to configure Outlook 2000 to retrieve your
email. We hope this helps!
Microsoft Outlook
2000 may be configured to retrieve your email messages from your
email account at your domain name. Once Outlook is configured for
your email account, you can send and receive email using this program,
as well as set up processing rules and organize your email messages
on your desktop. The following outlines a basic procedure to perform
this configuration.
Step
1
Launch
the Outlook 2000 program. Select Tools/Accounts from the menu bar.
Step
2
This
should bring you to the screen labeled Internet Accounts. Click
on "Add... " A new screen, Add Mail Account.


Step
3
The
window, Mail Account Properties, will be generated. In the "General"
menu, fill in the appropriate information. You will need to give
the profile a name by which it may be identified under "Mail
Account" and then indicate a friendly name and company name
for your email address account. Under "Email address"
be sure to enter your new email address.

Step
4
Now select the "Servers" tab.


- In the "incoming
mail (POP3)" section enter the name of the host.ie POP3 server
assigned to your host.ie email accounts. An example incoming mail
server is mail3.hosting365.ie, though as hosting365.ie hosts multiple
mail servers, please use the one assigned to your account in your
"Welcome to hosting365.ie!" welcome message.
- In the "Outgoing
mail (SMTP)" field enter your mail server - typically
mail.yourdomain.com
- Under "Account
name" and "Password" enter the full address of
your hosting365.ie email account and the corresponding password.
- Check the
"Remember password" box so that you need not authenticate
yourself each time you check your email.
Step
5
Now select
"Connection" and choose the type of Internet connection
that you use for the your computer. You may leave the "Advanced"
tab with its default settings.
Step
6
You are
now finished with the configuration! Click on "Apply"
to invoke the changes you have made, and you may now click on the
Send/Receive button on the main panel (see Step 1) to download your
email from your Mail account.
