A very popular desktop email program is Outlook 2007. It will allow you to configure all your email accounts to let you read and send mail from your desktop. This tutorial is going to show you how to setup an Email Account in Outlook 2007.
Now, we have our account, and we are going to open the Outlook 2007 program on our desktop. Once the program opens, you will see a top menu bar. Click on the Tools link. This will produce a drop-down menu, and you need to click on the link called E-mail Accounts.
The E-mail Accounts Wizard window will now appear. Click on the radio button that says "Add a new e-mail account". Then click on the Next button. This takes you to the Server Type window. Select the radio button for POP3, and click Next.
The next window is Internet E-Mail Settings.
- In the User Information section, in the first box enter your name as you would like it to appear in the FROM field of Outgoing emails.
- In the next box, enter your full email address.
- In the Logon Information section, enter your email username & password (if you require your username & password please email support@tomahawk.ca).
- Now in the top right enter your incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) server names. Tomahawk Technologies incoming mail server (POP3) and outgoing mail server (SMTP) are both "mail.tomahawk.ca".
Now click the More Settings tab. This will open a Internet E-Mail Settings window.
- Click on the Outgoing Server tab.
- Check the box in front of the statement "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication. *Note: SMTP Authentication means that Outlook will logon to your mail server when sending email as well as when receiving to make sure that you are the only one that can send email from your account.
- Select either use same settings as incoming mail server or logon to incoming mail server before sending mail.
- Now select the advanced tab.
- See this article for available port numbers. *Note: The default settings should work, however some internet service providers block the default SMTP port 25. If you're unable to send email but can receive it, this is most likely the case. Try changing SMTP port 25 to 366.
- Now click OK and Finish to complete the setup Wizard.
This takes you back to the main page of Outlook 2007. You should now be ready to start sending and receiving emails.
