This page explains how to set up Microsoft Outlook 2013 to send and receive e-mail for an e-mail mailbox you’ve created.
These instructions create a “POP” connection setting. If you prefer to create an “POP” connection, see our Outlook 2013 settings page instead.
Before you continue, you should enter your e-mail address (the address you want to set up in Outlook) in the box above. Entering your e-mail address makes sure that the instructions below are correct.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Your Name | Enter the name you want people you email to see, such as: John Smith |
Email Address | Enter your full email address, such as: [email protected] |
Account Type | Choose if you want to use POP or IMAP. By default, POP downloads and removes your emails from the server, while IMAP leaves them on the server. Here is a link to an article that explains the differences in more detail. In my tests, I am setting up a POP account. |
Incoming mail server |
Standard settings: mail.domain.com (Replace domain.com with your actual domain)
SSL Settings: mail.version-next.com (Replace the XX with the numbers from your server name)
|
Outgoing mail server (SMTP) | Standard settings: mail.domain.com (Replace domain.com with your actual domain)
SSL Settings: mail.version-next.com (Replace the XX with the numbers from your server name)
|
User Name | Enter your full email address, such as: [email protected] |
Password | Enter the password you for this email address. |
Remember password | I recommend checking this box, so Outlook will save your password. |
