How to configure Microsoft Outlook 2010 to Send & Receive Mail

If you've just started using Wild Planet as your email service provider, there are a few configuration changes you will need to make in your Microsoft Outlook before you can begin sending and receiving mail. Up to now, your Outlook has been configured to log into your previous email servers, but now you must give it the instructions it needs to log into ours.

There are quite a few versions of Microsoft Outlook, but the settings are the same for all of them. The only thing that is different is how you get to the Account Settings area. Below you will find instructions for Outlook 2010; we are currently working on instructions for Outlook 2000, 2003, 2007, and 2013.


1. Start the Microsoft Outlook program.

Use the Start menu to start Outlook 2010. If you’ve never used Outlook before, it will prompt you to create a new account. In that case, skip ahead to step 2. If you’ve previously used Outlook and it doesn’t prompt you, click the File tab, then the Add Account button (see image below).

Or, if you have been using Outlook previously and simply need to reconfigure it in order to use our email servers, then look for your existing account in the Account Settings window, and then click the CHANGE button. (because you will be CHANGING existing account settings). Skip to Step 4 below.

2. The “Auto Account Setup” screen appears.

When this window appears, leave the spaces empty, choose the Manually configure server settings or additional server types option, then click Next.

3. The “Choose Service” screen appears.

Choose Internet E-mail, then click Next.

4. The “Internet E-mail Settings” screen appears.

This is the window where you’ll enter most of your account settings. You want the window to look like this:

Outlook 2010
  • “Your Name” is the name that other people will see when you send them e-mail. It should usually be your real name, such as Bill Gates or Joan of Arc.
  • Enter your “E-mail Address”. The address must be the e-mail address of the mailbox you created in your account management control panel.
  • For “Account Type”, choose POP3.
  • Enter pop3.wildplanetmail.com for the “Incoming mail server” and smtp.wildplanetmail.com for the “Outgoing mail server (SMTP)”.
  • Enter your (full) e-mail address again as the “User Name”. (The user name must be all lowercase).
  • Type your e-mail password into the “Password” box. This is the password you chose for this e-mail address when you created the mailbox in your account management control pane (unless we have created it for you). This password may be different from your master “My Account” password with our company.
  • Make sure that “Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)” is not checked.
  • Do not click “Test Account Settings” or “Next” yet; they will not work until you complete the next steps.

5. View “More Settings”.

Click the More Settings button. A new “Internet E-mail Settings” window appears.

6. Choose the “Outgoing Server” tab.

In the “Outgoing Server” tab, check My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and make sure Use same settings as my incoming mail server is selected:

7. Close the “Internet E-mail Settings” window.

Click OK to close the “Internet E-mail Settings” window. The “Add New Account” screen will still be visible.

8. Test the settings.

Click Next. Outlook will test the settings, then should tell you that “all tests completed successfully”:

outlook2010 10

If Outlook tells you a test failed, double-check to be sure you’ve entered the settings correctly.

9. Finish the wizard.

If the “Test Account Settings” window is still open, click Close to continue.

Click Finish to finish the wizard.

Outlook setup is complete

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

    |Do not strive for perfection in fashion. Nothing in the world is perfect. Also, if you attempt perfection, you may look like you are investing too much time and effort into the process. Some of the most successful fashion models have had at least one flaw, such as a long forehead or a gap between the teeth.

    Dubai77 atau agen judi slot online lainnya. Meskipun demikian, saya dapat memberikan beberapa kriteria
    umum yang bisa Anda pertimbangkan ketika mencari situs judi online yang dapat dipercaya:

    Lisensi dan Regulasi: Pastikan situs tersebut diatur oleh badan pengatur perjudian yang terkemuka.
    Lisensi dari otoritas perjudian yang terpercaya menunjukkan bahwa
    situs tersebut mematuhi standar keamanan dan keadilan.

    Reputasi dan Ulasan: Telusuri ulasan dari pemain sebelumnya dan tanggapan online lainnya untuk mendapatkan gambaran tentang reputasi situs tersebut.
    Situs-situs tepercaya umumnya memiliki umpan balik positif dari pemain.

    Keamanan dan Privasi: Pastikan situs tersebut menggunakan enkripsi data yang kuat dan memiliki kebijakan privasi yang jelas untuk melindungi informasi
    pribadi Anda.

    Ragam Permainan: Pilih situs yang menawarkan berbagai permainan judi online, termasuk slot, kasino langsung, taruhan olahraga, dan lain-lain, agar Anda memiliki lebih banyak
    pilihan.

    Penawaran Bonus dan Promosi: Periksa bonus dan promosi yang ditawarkan oleh situs tersebut, tetapi selalu baca syarat dan ketentuan dengan cermat
    sebelum menerima bonus apa pun.

    Metode Pembayaran yang Aman: Pastikan situs tersebut menawarkan metode pembayaran yang aman dan nyaman untuk deposit dan penarikan dana.


    Dukungan Pelanggan: Perhatikan ketersediaan layanan pelanggan yang responsif dan profesional untuk membantu Anda jika Anda mengalami masalah atau memiliki pertanyaan.

    Ketersediaan Versi Mobile: Situs yang dapat diakses dengan mudah dari perangkat mobile adalah nilai tambah, memungkinkan Anda untuk bermain di mana pun Anda berada.


    Tetaplah waspada terhadap situs-situs perjudian online yang menawarkan janji-janji yang terlalu bagus untuk menjadi kenyataan atau menjanjikan keuntungan besar
    dengan modal yang minimal. Selalu bermain dengan bertanggung jawab dan sesuai dengan hukum yang berlaku di wilayah Anda.

    |There is no such thing as being perfectly fashionable. There is no perfect sense of fashion, just opinions. Next, you will appear to be pushing too hard when you attempt to be perfect. Celebrities such as Kate Moss also have flaws, so do not think you always have to be perfect.

    }{Haircare products which offer moisturizer are the best to use on hair which goes frizzy on a humid day. The moisture acts as a protective barrier over the cuticle and can keep your hair looking sleek. Avoid the ingredients wheat or rice that are found in many volumizing products.
