Microsoft Outlook is an easy to use, yet advanced mail software that comes with Microsoft Office. In this tutorial we will show you how to set up Microsoft Outlook 2010 to check your email.

Below is a description of the fields:
Your Name Enter the identifying name for your email address. In the example this is Bob Smith, but it can be a functional name as well such as Your Business Sales.
E-mail Address Enter the full email address, such as sales@yourdomain.com.
Account Type Choose whether you want to use POP3 or IMAP. POP3 downloads and removes your emails from the server, while IMAP leaves them on the server. We recommend POP3 (this is the default option).
Incoming mail server Standard settings are mail.yourdomain.com (Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain).
Outgoing mail server (SMTP) We recommend using the Outgoing Mail Server Name of your current Internet Server Provider (ISP). Alternatively you can use mail.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain).
User Name Enter your full email address, such as sales@yourdomain.com.
Password Enter the password you use for this email address. We recommend checking the Remember Password option so Outlook will save your password for future use.
Require logon using Secure Password Authentication Do not check this option.
Step 6. Click More Settings.
