Microsoft Outlook Setup (Mac Users)
This tutorial will show you how to change the account settings for a POP3 account
in Outlook Express 5 for Mac OS 9. |
| 1.Click on the "Tools" menu and select "Accounts" |
 |
| |
| 2.
In the "Accounts" window which appears, Select your email account
and click on the "Edit" button. |
| |
 |
| |
| 3.
You will be presented with the "Account Settings" window. "Account
name" is the name by which Outlook Express refers to these settings.
"Include this account in my 'Send & Receive All' schedule" should
be checked if you want Outlook Express to check for new messages
from this account when you click "Send/Receive" "Name" is your name
as you would like it to appaer when you send email. "E-mail address"
is your Sonic.net address. "Account ID" is your Sonic.net username.
"POP server" is "pop.sonic.net." "Password" is your Sonic.net password.
If you'd like Outlook Express to remember your password, check the
box labeled "Save password." "SMTP server"
is "mail.sonic.net." |

 |
| |
| 4.
If you'd like to use advanced receiving options, click on "Click
here for advanced receiving options." If you'd like to connect via
SSL to pop.sonic.net, to prevent your password from being sent in
plain text, check the first box. Normally, the default POP port
is 110. With SSL enabled, the program should use 995. Sonic.net
does not use Secure Password Authentication, so leave the third
box unchecked. |

 |
| |
| 5.
If you'd like to use advanced sending options, click on "Click here
for advanced sending options" in the "Account Settings" tab. If
you'd like to send mail through mail.sonic.net while you're not
actually connected to the Internet via Sonic.net, you can do so
by checking the box labeled "SMTP server requires authentication"
and either use the same settings as the receiving mail server, or
enter them in the appropriate fields. |

| 6.
Click on the "Account Options" tab to set some extra account options.
"Default Signature" is used for specifying a signature. "Additional
headers" can be used to add your own custom headers to each email
you send. "Partially receive messages over XX KB" can be used to
keep messages over a certain size from downloading when you check
the mail. "Leave a copy of each message on the server" is what you
should use to do exactly that. Keeping mail on the mail server generally
can be abusive of Sonic.net system resouces. "Delete messages from
the server after XX days" will allow you to have mail deleted after
a set number of days. Sonic.net recommends between 7 and 10, if
at all. "Delete messages from the server after they are deleted
from this computer" means that after you delete a message off of
your computer, the next time you check this account for new messages,
the message you deleted from Outlook Express will be deleted from
the mail server. "Get all messages left on server" will delete all
messages on the mail server which have already been downloaded to
Outlook Express in the past. "Allow Online Access" does exactly
that. It lets you view your messages on the mail server before you
actually download them to your computer. |
