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.

    I enjoy you because of every one of your effort on this blog. My mom delights in managing internet research and it is easy to see why. Most of us learn all concerning the powerful mode you present invaluable strategies via the website and even increase participation from visitors on the subject matter while our own daughter is really understanding a lot of things. Enjoy the remaining portion of the new year. You're doing a pretty cool job.

    I must express some thanks to the writer just for bailing me out of this crisis. Right after searching through the internet and finding solutions which are not powerful, I believed my entire life was gone. Being alive minus the solutions to the difficulties you have sorted out by way of your good guideline is a serious case, and the kind that would have in a wrong way damaged my career if I hadn't discovered your blog post. Your own personal capability and kindness in maneuvering everything was vital. I don't know what I would've done if I had not encountered such a stuff like this. I'm able to at this moment relish my future. Thanks a lot very much for this expert and effective help. I won't hesitate to recommend your blog post to any individual who needs support about this subject matter.

    I would like to show my thanks to you just for bailing me out of such a setting. After searching throughout the search engines and seeing opinions which are not pleasant, I believed my entire life was over. Existing without the presence of strategies to the issues you have fixed by way of your entire blog post is a crucial case, and ones that could have adversely affected my entire career if I had not discovered your website. Your actual competence and kindness in touching almost everything was useful. I'm not sure what I would've done if I had not encountered such a stuff like this. I'm able to at this point look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for your high quality and effective help. I won't hesitate to endorse your blog post to any individual who needs direction about this situation.
