Set Up POP - Outlook® 2007

For increased security, we recommend that you use our secure (SSL) servers, as detailed below. Note: If your internal system configurations require non-SSL ports, please see the "Email Server Settings" page for our full list of available servers and ports.

To set up Outlook 2007 for POP, perform the following steps:

1. In Outlook, select “Tools” / “Account Settings.”
2. On the "Email" tab, click the “New” button.



3. If prompted, ensure that the “Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP” radio button is selected, and click the "Next" button.
4. Check the “Manually configure server settings or additional server types” box.
5. Click the “Next” button.
6. Ensure that the “Internet E-mail” radio button is selected, and click the “Next” button.
7. Enter the following information:
    
   • Your Name—Enter your first and last name. This is the name that will appear in the “From” field of messages you send.
   • E-mail Address—Enter your entire email address (e.g., myname@mydomain.com).
   • Account Type—Select “POP3” from the drop-down menu.
   • Incoming mail server—Enter the secure server name:
      
     secure.emailsrvr.com
   • Outgoing mail server (SMTP)—Enter the secure server name:
      
     secure.emailsrvr.com
   • User Name—Enter your entire email address (e.g., myname@mydomain.com).
   • Password—Enter the password for your email account.

    
   

8. Check the “Remember password” box, if you want Outlook to check for email without prompting you to enter your password.
9. Click the “More Settings” button.
10. Click the “Outgoing Server” tab.
11. Check the “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” box. Leave the default setting, “Use same settings as my incoming mail server.”
     
    
12. Click the “Advanced” tab.
     
    
13. Check the “This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)” box.
14. In the “Use the following type of encrypted connection” dropdown menu, select “SSL.”
15. In the “Incoming server (POP3)” box, enter the secure incoming port: 995
16. In the “Outgoing server (SMTP)” box, enter the secure outgoing port: 465 (or alternate ports 587 or 8025).
17. A POP connection normally removes the email messages from the server during download. If you would like to leave copies on the server, check the “Leave a copy of messages on server” box. To avoid exceeding your account’s storage limits, indicate whether the server should delete messages after a certain number of days and/or delete messages when you manually delete them from the Deleted Items folder.
18. Click the “OK” button.
19. Click the “Next” button.
20. Click the “Finish” button.
21. Click the “Close” button.
