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’ve been researching Paybis for a while now,
    especially after having a rough financial period,
    and I’m still not fully convinced whether it deserves all the
    attention it gets. Still, it’s clearly a noticeable name in the crypto space, particularly
    for people in Germany who are trying to rebuild their finances.
    From what I understand, Paybis presents itself as a globally operated cryptocurrency service that supports fiat payments, something many platforms either
    limit or complicate.

    What initially caught my eye is how Paybis seems to connect traditional German banking methods with
    the crypto world. Many exchanges focus only on crypto-to-crypto trades,
    while Paybis allows users to buy crypto using SEPA transfers.
    I’m not saying the process is perfect, but it does seem
    aimed at users new to crypto rather than just advanced traders.


    Another aspect worth noting is the selection of supported
    assets. Paybis doesn’t restrict itself to
    just the top coins. Instead, it offers multiple altcoins, which might attract users who are diversifying.
    Still, things like liquidity are worth checking before making decisions.


    Security and compliance also come up often around Paybis.
    The platform highlights identity verification, which can feel responsible for users in Germany, though others might see it as restrictive.
    I’m still undecided, but it does suggest Paybis
    tries to operate as a legitimate marketplace.

    When it comes to fees, reviews seem mixed. Some say
    Paybis is transparent about costs, while others note that pricing can vary by payment method.
    This isn’t unusual in the crypto industry, but it means users should read
    the details before moving money.

    Overall, I wouldn’t call Paybis the ultimate choice, but it does seem like a platform worth checking out, especially for someone in Germany trying to find accessible financial
    tools. I’m still forming my opinion, but it seems promising enough to justify further research.
