CREATING AN EMAIL ACCOUNT IN OUTLOOK
To configure Outlook XP to access your Coollink Email Account,
you must configure it within Outlook. Where appropriate,
be sure to click "Next" to continue to the next step.
1.
Launch Outlook.
2.
Within Outlook, click the "Tools" menu.

Choose "E-mail Accounts..." from that menu.
Click the 1st option, "Add a new e-mail account."

"Choose the 2nd option, "POP3."

Fill out the information on this screen as shown above.
Your Name: You may type whatever you wish in this field. It will appear in emails that you send.
Email Address: This field must contain your valid email address.
User Name: This must be set to the first part of your email address. Do not include the @-symbol or the domain name.
Password: Your password is the same as the one you use to connect to the service.
Remember Password: You may turn this option off if you wish to be prompted for your password each time you check your email.
Incoming Mail Server: This must be set correctly for you to be able to receive email.
Outgoing Mail: This must be set correctly for you t be able to send email. Click the "More Settings..." button. A dialog box will appear. Click on the "Connection" tab, then continue with these instructions.
|
|
Settings within this dialog box will generally be correct by default. However, they are shown here for your convenience.
Mail Account: If you wish, you may change the name of your account to something more meaningful.
Organization: You may also type the name of your business or organization. It will appear in emails that you send.
Reply E-Mail: If you specify a different address here, replies that people send to your emails will be sent to that different address. We recommend you leave this field blank or leave it set to the same address as your email address.
|
|
Check the option labeled "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.
Click the option labeled "Use same settings as my incoming mail server."
|
| In this dialog box, you need to tell Outlook how to connect to the Internet.
·
DSL/Broadband Customers: Choose the 1st option, "Connect using my localarea network (LAN)." Then click "OK."
·
Dialup Customers: Click the 2nd option, "Connect using my phone line." Choose your dialup connection from the list that appears. Then click "OK."
 |

Most settings on this tab should be left at their default settings.
If you are using a mobile computer to check your email, or if you routinely check your email from two locations (home and office, for example) you may wish to leave email on the server so that it can also be down-loaded on another computer.
To do this, turn on the option "Leave a copy of messages on server." Set the next two options according to your preferences.
Important: If you use this option, make certain that one of your computers is not configured to leave messages on the server. Email must be removed from the server frequently to prevent your incoming mailbox from becoming full. For most users, the option should always be left off.
