Microsoft Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2002/Outlook XP (PC)
 

Outlook allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile. This means you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Network Solutions Email messages. To configure your POP settings for Microsoft Outlook 2002 (sometimes referred to as Outlook XP) and 2003:

  1. From the Tools menu, select "Email Accounts." (If you do not see "Accounts," place your cursor over the two arrows at the bottom of the list to display more choices.)
  2. Select the radio button next to "Add a new email account" and click the "Next" button.
  3. Select the radio button next to "POP3" and click the "Next" button.
  4. Enter the following information: User Information
    • Your Name: Enter your name as you would like it to appear in the "From" field of your outgoing messages.
    • Email Address: Enter your full mail address (e.g., "john@ez-mtg.com").

    Server Information

    • Incoming mail server (POP3): "mail.” followed by your domain name (e.g. mail.ez-mtg.com)
    • Outgoing mail server (SMTP): "mail.” followed by your domain name (e.g. mail.ez-mtg.com)

    Note: Skip this step unless you are having problems sending outgoing e-mails after finishing the setup. (Not required in most cases)

    Some ISPs will not allow you to use Network Solutions’ outbound mail servers. If that is the case, type in the name of your ISPs outgoing e-mail server (ex. smtp.myisp.com). You may also try and configure Network Solutions’ Outbound Mail server to connect to Port 2525 instead of the default Port 25.

    Login Information

    • User Name: Enter your full Network Solutions’ Email Address.
    • Password: Enter your password.
       


     

  5. Do not check the box next to "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)."
  6. Click the "More Settings" box and select the "Outgoing Server" tab.
  7. Check the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication."

Important: The Network Solutions’ Outgoing Mail servers require authentication. To turn this setting on, follow these steps:

  1. From the Tools menu, select "Email Accounts."
  2. Select "View or change existing email accounts" and click "Next."
  3. Select your Network Solutions Email account and click the "Change" button on the right.
  4. Click the "More Settings..." button in the bottom-right corner of the Email Accounts window.
  5. In the Internet Email Settings window, click the "Outgoing Server" tab. Ensure that the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" is checked.
  6. Click the "Advanced" tab and make sure that you have not selected "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" under the incoming (POP3) or outgoing (SMTP) port settings.
