How to configure Microsoft Outlook 2000 or Outlook 98 to Send & Receive Mail

This page explains how to set up Microsoft Outlook 98 or Outlook 2000 to send and receive e-mail for a POP mailbox that you've created. (The screen shots below are from Outlook 2000, although Outlook 98 is similar.)

Tip: make sure that the program you are using is Microsoft Outlook, and not Microsoft Outlook Express. These two similarly named programs have different set up instructions. Be sure you do not see the word "Express" on the screen when you start the program.

1. Start the Microsoft Outlook program.

You can use the Start menu to start Outlook. When it opens, click Tools, then Accounts from the menu bar:

2. The "Internet Accounts" window appears.

On the right-hand side, click Add, then Mail.

3. The "Internet Connection Wizard" window appears.

The wizard first asks for your name. This is the name that other people will see when you send them e-mail. It should usually be your real name, such as John Smith or Joan of Arc.

Type the name you want other people to see when you send them e-mail, then click Next.

4. The wizard asks for your Internet E-mail Address.

Enter your e-mail address, then click Next. The address must be the e-mail address of the POP mailbox you created in your account management control panel.

5. The wizard asks for your E-mail Server Names.

Leave the server type as POP3. Type mail.tigertech.net as the name of both your incoming and outgoing server, then click Next.

6. The wizard asks for your Internet Mail Logon.

The "Internet mail Logon" is your e-mail username and password.

  • Type your e-mail address as your account name (it must be all lowercase).
  • Type your e-mail password, which is the password you chose for this e-mail address when you created the mailbox in your account management control panel. Or, we may have created it for you. Remember that this password may be different from your master account password.
  • If you wish, check the Remember password box to have Outlook remember your password so that you don't have to type it each time you send or receive e-mail.

The window should look like this:

Click Next when finished.

7. Microsoft Outlook asks for a method of connecting to the Internet.

Usually you will already have a connection to the Internet. In these cases you can choose I will establish my Internet connection manually.

Click Next when you have selected the appropriate option.

8. The wizard tells you that you've entered all the information.

Click Finish.

While the wizard has collected the basic information needed to receive e-mail, one other change is needed to make sure that you can send mail. Continue with the steps below to finish setting up Microsoft Outlook.

9. Continue with Outlook setup.

The "Internet Accounts" window should still be open. Highlight the new e-mail account and click Properties.

10. The "Properties" window appears.

Click the Servers tab and check My server requires authentication (at the bottom of the window). You don't need to click Settings; the default settings are fine. Also, note that you should not check Log On Using Secure Password Authentication.

11. Change the SMTP port number.

Changing the SMTP port number ensures that your ISP will not block outgoing mail connections to our mail servers.

  • Click the Advanced tab.
  • Change the Outgoing mail (SMTP) port number from 25 to 587.

12. Close the setup windows.

Click OK to close the Properties window, then click Close to close the Internet Accounts window.

The setup is complete.

You're finished! Try sending yourself a test e-mail message to make sure it works.

    Vatican Museum Tours
    The Vatican Museum: A Journey Through Time and Art

    Nestled within the Vatican City, the Vatican Museums stand as one of the most iconic cultural institutions in the world. With their unparalleled collection of art and history, they offer an extraordinary experience for visitors from all walks of life. Housing over 70,000 works of art, with 20,000 on display, these museums are a testament to humanity's enduring quest for beauty, knowledge, and spirituality.

    A Brief History

    The origins of the Vatican Museums trace back to 1506 when Pope Julius II acquired a marble statue known as "Laocoon and His Sons." This masterpiece marked the beginning of what would become one of the most extensive and revered art collections in the world. Over the centuries, successive Popes expanded the collection, commissioning and acquiring works from renowned artists and civilizations spanning millennia.

    Today, the Vatican Museums are a series of interconnected museums and galleries, showcasing art and artifacts from ancient Egypt, classical antiquity, the Renaissance, and beyond. They serve as a bridge between the past and present, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a world of creativity and devotion.

    Highlights of the Vatican Museums

    1. The Sistine Chapel:
    The Sistine Chapel is arguably the crown jewel of the Vatican Museums. Michelangelo's breathtaking frescoes, including the iconic "The Creation of Adam" and "The Last Judgment," adorn its ceiling and altar wall. These masterpieces are considered some of the greatest achievements in the history of art, offering a profound spiritual and artistic experience.

    2. Raphael Rooms:
    Commissioned by Pope Julius II, the Raphael Rooms showcase the genius of Renaissance artist Raphael. The "School of Athens," a depiction of classical philosophers, is a standout piece that exemplifies harmony, perspective, and intellectual depth.

    3. Gallery of Maps:
    A visual feast for cartography enthusiasts, the Gallery of Maps features 40 detailed topographical maps of Italy, meticulously painted by Ignazio Danti in the late 16th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details make this gallery a must-see.

    4. Gregorian Egyptian Museum:
    For those intrigued by ancient civilizations, the Gregorian Egyptian Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into Egypt's history. With mummies, statues, and papyri, it transports visitors to a time of pharaohs and pyramids.

    5. Pinacoteca:
    The Pinacoteca, or picture gallery, houses an impressive collection of paintings from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Works by Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, and Titian are among its treasures.

    Tips for Visiting the Vatican Museums

    Book Tickets in Advance: The Vatican Museums attract millions of visitors annually. To avoid long queues, consider purchasing skip-the-line tickets or guided tour packages online.

    Choose the Right Time: Visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon can help you avoid peak crowds. Wednesday mornings are especially busy due to the Pope's weekly audience.

    Dress Appropriately: As a religious site, the Vatican has a dress code. Ensure your shoulders and knees are covered to gain entry.

    Take a Guided Tour: To fully appreciate the history and significance of the collections, opt for a guided tour. Expert guides provide insightful commentary, enriching your experience.

    Allocate Sufficient Time: The museums are vast, and exploring them can take several hours. Prioritize your must-see areas and allow time to soak in the ambiance.

    The Cultural Significance of the Vatican Museums

    The Vatican Museums are more than a repository of art; they represent a convergence of faith, culture, and human achievement. They bear witness to the Catholic Church's role in preserving and fostering artistic expression throughout history. The collections highlight the interplay between spirituality and creativity, offering visitors a profound connection to the divine and the universal human experience.
