Outlook Express SMTP/POP3 Configuration
Go Back
Open your Outlook Express program and select Tools / Accounts from the top menu, and then select the Mail tab.
You should see the screen below (you may have other accounts already configured).
After you click Add /Mail, you will see the screen below. Enter your name and click Next.
In this screen type your complete email address and click Next.
In this screen you select to use the POP3 protocol. Please enter the values for the POP3 incoming and SMTP outgoing mail
servers as shown in the image and click Next.
Enter your account name (your full email address) and your password. Select to remember your password unless
you want to type it every time you receive or send email. Leave the Secure Password Authentication option (SPA) unselected and
click Next.
Finally click on Finish to create the entry in the Mail Accounts list.
Once you have finished with the steps above, click in the Properties button of the just created account.
Under the General tab, enter a name to identify this account (Suncoastsecure), your name, your organization
(Optional) and your full email address. If you want your contacts to reply to your messages to an email other than your Suncoast
Secure Mail Account, please enter the alternate email in the Reply Address box (Not recommended).
Under the Servers Tab, select My server requires authentication and click in Settings
In this screen you can either select to use the same setting as the incoming mail server, or select Log on using, and enter your
full email account and your password again. Leave the option to use Secure Password Authentication (SPA) unselected. When you complete
your changes, select OK.
Under the Advanced tab, please make sure the SMTP port indicates 25, the POP3 port indicates 110, and the SSL options are unselected.
Important information on the option to Leave a Copy of The Messages on Server. This is up to you. If selected, your messages
will be duplicated in your mail program and in the server, and they may not be deleted ever even if you delete them from your local
email program. This means that the messages in the server will keep using you available space until you reach your limit.
On the other hand, if you select to delete the messages from the server, and if you read your mail from 2 different locations, only the
one that reads them first will get a copy of the message. This is one of the main reasons why it is preferred to configure your incoming
server as IMAP instead of POP3.
Finally, select OK, and close the accounts configuration screen, and proceed to test your configuration by sending and receiving a test email to and from
an alternate email account.
