Creating an email account in Microsoft Outlook 2010

Step 1: On the “File” Ribbon, select info. Then press “+ Add Account”

Step 2: Select the option to “Manually configure server settings or additional server types”.

Step 3: Select the “Internet E-mail” option.

Step 4: Insert the information according to the email address you have set up in your control panel (View the Plesk or cPanel tutorials).

Step 5: Click on “More Settings” as highlighted in blue above. Click the “Outgoing Server” tab, tick the option “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” and select the option “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”.

Step 6: You may need to configure your 3G device on the “Connection” tab, however you will need to contact your ISP for the correct settings.

Step 7: On the “Advanced” tab, ensure you change your “Outgoing server (SMTP)” is set to Port 587 and no SSL options are ticked. Click OK.

In advanced email setting/mail delivery:

If the box "Leave message on server" is ticked, mail will continue to accumulate on your server space.
If the box "Remove Message on server after X days"" is ticked, mail will continue to accumulate on your server space.

These commands are Windows and Mac proprietary commands and DO NOT WORK on Linux Servers.

Outlook settings are something like this:
Outlook/Tools/account settings/change email account/More Settings/advanced tab/untick "Leave copy of messages on the server"

 

Step 8: You should now be able to successfully test the account as long as the domain has propagated and your hosting account is active.

Congratulations! You have now set up your mail account.

Final Check: It is recommended to set the “Check for new messages” setting to be 15 minutes in your Outlook configuration.
