How do I configure Outlook 2003?
Introduction
Most Teztech customers use POP3 mailboxes on Teztech's mail servers. To use a POP3 mailbox, it is necessary to configure POP3 client software on your computer. Generally, to configure POP3 client software, you enter these settings:
- An email address: Typically, this will be user@domain
- A username given to you by your administrator (or created in the control panel if you are the administrator).
- A password
- The POP3 server name. Typically, this will be mail.domain
- The SMTP server name. Typically, this will be mail.domain
- Enable SMTP authentication
The instructions below provide explicit instructions to configure Microsoft Outlook 2003 as a POP3 client to access your POP3 mailbox on Teztech's mail server.

Click the E-mail Account button. The E-mail Accounts screen appears:

If there are accounts already listed, you can change it to use your new settings, or you can add a new account. To change an existing account, highlight it, then click Change. To add a new account click Add. Either way, the Internet E-mail Settings (POP3) screen appears:
Fill in all the boxes as shown above and described below:
