How to set up email  Outlook Express for Mac by- SATISH RANA
  • Operating System: Apple Mac
  • Application: Microsoft Outlook Express
  • PLEASE NOTE : Calco UK DO NOT support Apple computers or Apple/ Mac Software. This guide is just that -only a guide and you use the information entirely at your own risk.
  1. You will need your email server settings to set up your email program.
  2. Open Outlook Express.
  3. From the Tools menu, choose Accounts.
  4. Click on the New button. A new pop-up window will appear for the set up wizard. Email dialog
  5. In the Display name field, type your full name. This is the name people see, not your email address.
  6. Click the Next button.
  7. In the E-mail address field, type your full email address (e.g., johndoe@yourdomain.com).
  8. Click the Next button.
  9. The top line should read 'My incoming mailserver is a POP3 server'.
    In the 'Outgoing mail (SMTP)' field enter the outgoing mailserver Hostname of your ISP i.e. smtp.virgin.net
  10. In the Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP) server field, type your Incoming mail server (POP) according to the details we have suppled.
    e.g. mail.mydomain.com where mydomain in YOUR domain name.

  11. In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server field, type your ISP's mailserver details.
    For the SMTP server, use YOUR internet provider or broadband provider's SMTP server address that they gave you when you signed up. In this case we have used Virgin's server address e.g. smtp.virgin.net it could just as easily by smtp.wanadoo.net etc etc...
    If you are using your ISPs SMTP server and it fails, you may need to obtain a roving SMTP server address from Calco UK. Some ISPs require your email address to be WHITE-LISTED before allowing the use of their SMTP server address - call them if sending mail fails and see if this is the case.

  12. Click the Next button.
  13. In the Account name field, type your username according to the details we have supplied.
  14. In the Password field, type your password according to the details we have supplied.
