This document will show you how to configure Outlook 2003 to be able to send and receive your e-mail.

1 - Open Outlook 2003, go to the Tools menu and choose E-mail Accounts:

2 - A wizard will pop-up. Please select the first radio button named Add a new e-mail account, and click Next.

3 - Select the 2nd radio button called POP3 for the Server Type (unless you wish to use IMAP instead) then click Next.

4 - You should now be on a screen called Internet E-mail Settings (POP3) like this one:

Under User Information:

In the Your Name box, enter your display name, which is the name that will appear in the From field when you send e-mail.
In the E-mail Address box, enter your full email address, for example johndoe@earthnet.net

Under Logon Information:

In the User Name box, enter your Earthnet username (usually the first part of your e-mail address at Earthnet.net, for example johndoe if your e-mail address is johndoe@earthnet.net)

In the Password box, enter your password.

Make sure Remember Password is checked, and that Log on using Secure Password Authentication is NOT checked.

Under Server Information:

In the Incoming Mail Server (POP3) box, enter: mail.earthnet.net

In the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) box, type in: smtp.earthnet.net

Make sure you typed everything correctly (for example, make sure you did not type smpt instead of smtp)

 

5 - Do not click Next right away, instead, click the More Settings button in the lower right-hand corner. This should pop up the following window:

Go to the 2nd tab called Outgoing Server,
check the box at the top that says My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication,
select the 2nd radio button called Log on using,
enter your username and your password in the appropriate boxes,
make sure Remember password is checked,
do NOT check the box that says Log on using secure password authentication (SPA)

When you're done, click OK to confirm the changes.
This will take you back to the Internet E-mail Settings (POP3) window.

From there, you can click Next and then Finish to finish creating your account.

Congratulations, you are now ready to send and receive your e-mail!
