Server Authentication

Choose the Servers tab. Under the Outgoing Mail Server section, place a checkmark next to "My server requires authentication".

Note: The default setting for server authentication is to use the same settings as your incoming mail server. Therefore, you will not need to change anything in the settings for server authentication.

Leaving a Copy on the Server

This is also on the Advanced tab. Under the Delivery section, place a checkmark next to "Leave a copy of messages on server".

Congratulations, you've now setup Outlook 2000 to use your email account. Repeat the above steps to setup further email accounts.


*After completing these steps you should be able to send and receive email via this account. If you can't send emails that means your ISP is most likely blocking your Outgoing Mail server port 25 (default). You can change that port to 26 if you have Linux hosting with us or to port 465 if you have Windows hosting with us.
