How to Set Up your Email in Outlook 2010
Written by Brad MarkleYou can set up Outlook 2010 to receive and send email hosted at InMotion Hosting.
First, open Outlook 2010 on your computer. Our first step is to add a new email account:
- Click File, and then Add Account.
- On the New Account screen, click the "Manually configure server settings" radio button and click Next
- Select "Internet E-Mail" on the next screen and click Next.
User Information:
Your Name: Insert your full name here. This name will appear on all your sent email.
Email Address: Put in your full email address, for example kevin@yourdomain.com.
Server Information:
Account Type: Select POP3 if you want the emails to be downloaded to Outlook. Select IMAP if you want the emails to remain on your hosting server.
Incoming Mail Server: If your domain is pointed to InMotion the incoming mail server is mail.yourdomain.com.
Outgoing Mail Server: This will be the same as your Incoming Mail Server, mail.yourdomain.com.
Login Information:
User Name: This will be your full email address. For example, kevin@yourdomain.com.
Password: This is the password for the email account you listed above, and not the password for your cPanel.
Next click on the "More Settings..." button and make the following modifications:
Outgoing Server Tab: On the outgoing Server Tab, make sure that "My outgoing server requires authentication" is checked, as well as "Use same settings as my incoming mail server"
Next click on the "More Settings..." button and make the following modifications:
Outgoing Server Tab: On the outgoing Server Tab, make sure that "My outgoing server requires authentication" is checked, as well as "Use same settings as my incoming mail server"
