View or modify settings of an existing email account in Outlook Express

Verify that the General settings are correct:

  1. E-mail address (full email address)
  2. Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing (checked)
     
  3. Click the Servers tab.

Verify that the Servers settings are correct:

  1. Incoming mail (pop.yourdomain.com)
  2. Outgoing mail (pop.yourdomain.com)
  3. Account Name (full email address)
  4. Password (provided by Speartek)
  5. My server requires authentication (checked)
     
  6. Click Settings

Verify that the Outgoing Server settings are correct:

  1. Use same settings as my incoming mail server (selected)
     
  2. Click OK.
  3. Click the Advanced tab.

Verify that the Advanced settings are correct:

  1. Outgoing mail (Port 25 or 366) (Additional Information)
    • Note: Certain Internet Service Providers (ISP) may require that you use their outgoing mail server rather than Speartek's outgoing mail server. Please consult your ISP to determine the required outgoing server configuration.
  2. This server requires a secure connection (unchecked)
  3. Incoming mail (Port 110)
  4. This server requires a secure connection (unchecked)
  5. Leave a copy of messages on server (unchecked) (Additional Information)
    • Note: With this checkbox unchecked, when you download new messages from the server, the messages are deleted from Speartek's mail server. If you check this e-mail account from different computers by using the default Outlook Express settings, the computer that downloads a new e-mail message is the only location where the message is stored. The message is no longer on Speartek’s mail server and will not be downloaded when you connect from another computer.
    • To view your messages from different computers, you can choose to leave a copy of messages on Speartek’s mail server. Should you check the Leave a copy of messages on server checkbox, then we recommend that you also check the Remove from server after "x" days checkbox. This will help to prevent your mailbox on Speartek's mail server from reaching its storage limit.
    • If you configure Outlook Express to leave messages on the server, you may need to login to your webmail account and manually delete these messages. For more information about accessing your webmail account on Speartek's mail server, please visit the Speartek Webmail Help section.
  6. Click Apply, and then click OK.
