 How can I check my email using Outlook?
Solution These instructions are written from Outlook 2003, but older version have a similar interface.

  1. Open Outlook
  2. Choose "Tools" from the top menu
  3. Choose "E-mail Account..." from the pull down menu
  4. Select the "Add a new e-mail account" option, then click the "Next" button
  5. Choose the "POP3" option, then click the "Next" button
  6. Enter your name in the "Your Name" box and your email account in the "E-mail Address" box
  7. Enter your POP3 server (usually mail.yourdomain.com) in the "Incoming mail server (POP3)" box - this is displayed in the "Mail Info" screen of your H-Sphere Control Panel
  8. Enter your SMTP server in the "Outgoing mail server (SMTP)" box - this can be tricky as more and more ISP's are blocking the default port to prevent SPAM, but you can start with mail.yourdomain.com (if this does not work, you may need to use your ISP's SMTP server in this area)
  9. Enter your entire email address in the "User Name" box and your password in the "Password" box
  10. Check the "Remember password" box
  11. Click the "More Settings" button
  12. Click on the "Outgoing Server" tab
  13. Check on the "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" box and select the "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" option
  14. Click on the "Advanced" tab (for accounts created after January 1, 2006)
  15. Change the standard port 25 to 2525 in the "Outgoing server "SMTP" box (for accounts created after January 1, 2006)
  16. Click the "OK" button
  17. If you choose, you can click "Test Account Settings" button to test the mail account to ensure that you can send and receive
  18. Click the "Next" button
  19. Click the "Finish" button
