Setting Up Outlook

There are three basic things you need to setup in order to receive e-mail on your local PC:

1. Your e-mail address. For example: joe@my-domain.com

2. The name of the Incoming Mail Server. The incoming mail server is your domain name, without the "WWW".  ( In the above case this would be: my-domain.com - Note: NO "WWW")

3. The name of the Outgoing Mail Server. This is the same as the incoming mail server.
( Again: my-domain.com )

Then you need an individual Username and a Password to login with.  Both of these are entered all in lower case unless you have been instructed differently.
