This Microsoft ® Outlook Configuration Tutorial is a step-by-step guide on how to configure your Microsoft Outlook email client in order to make it work with your Servlets.Net email account. Please note that these instructions are for accounts that are using our new mailservers and not the old mailservers.

:: Step 1: Open Outlook, and click on the Tools menu. Please, select E-mail Accounts...

:: Step 2: Select the option Add a new e-mail account. Click 'Next'

:: Step 3: Select the type of account you would like to create (IMAP or POP3)

:: Step 4: Fill in the Internet E-mail Settings fields as follows:

• Your Name – Enter your name as you would like it to appear in the From: field of all outgoing mail
• E-mail Address – Enter the email address which others will use to send email messages to you.
• Incoming mail server (POP3/IMAP server): mail.yourdomain.com
• Outgoing mail server (SMTP server): mail.yourdomain.com
• User Name: please use the full e-mail account name. Example: you@yourdomain.com instead of you.
