A new menu will pop up with
several tabs across the top, and buttons along the right-hand
side. Click on the button labeled "Add". A new menu will appear.
You want to select the option that says "Mail".
The next screen which appears
will allow you to pick the name that people will see when they
receive mail from you. You can select anything you want here,
but typically it's best to display your first and last name.
This can always be changed later. Once you enter a name, press
"Next".
Now you should be looking at a
screen which you enter your email address into. Once
you've entered your email address, press "Next".
The next screen determines *how*
your mail arrives. Select either "IMAP" or "POP3" from the pull-
down menu at the top. IMAP means that you leave the mail on our
server, and can view it from any computer you set email up on.
POP3 means you download the messages onto your personal
computer. We suggest IMAP for those people who will be traveling
often and need to access their mail. POP3 is suggested for those
people who know that they will not need to often access their
mail from multiple locations.
Next, enter mail.dreadnought.net into both text fields. Select
my server requires authentication. Once
complete, press "Next".
Now you should see the
below screen. Enter *just* your username in the first
field. The second field is for your email password, and
should only be completed if you want your email
application to remember your password (recomended). If
you would rather not have the password saved, unselect
the box marked "Remember Password". Once complete, press
"Next".
Now you will tell Outlook
how to check mail. Depending on how you are connecting,
you will select different options: Connecting via DSL:
"Connect using my local area network (LAN)" Connecting
via Dialup: "Connect using my phone line" [this will
take you through setting up your dial up connection as
well.] Select what is appropriate for you, and then
press "Next".
This final screen asks you to
press "Finish".
This should set you up and get
your mail working! Simply click the account on the Outlook menu
of accounts (which typically is on the left hand side of the
program), and your mail should download.
