To setup a new Outlook email account to automatically send and receive emails, perform the following.

Open Outlook and in the tool bar at the top click on "Tools" and then "Email Accounts".

This will open a small popup window which is shown above. Make sure the "Add a new e-mail account" is selected. Click "Next".

For an LSI, Road Runner or COX email account select "POP3" for the type of account and then click "Next".

Enter your full name in the "Your Name" box. What you enter into this box is what the person on the receiving end will see as who the email is from. If you enter Santa Claus, then the email will be seen as  from Santa Claus on the receiving end. I recommend using your full name so the recipient will know who the email is from. I get emails from Susan's with no last name and don't know which Susan sent it.....

Enter your full email address in the "E-Mail Address" box. When the person receives your email and clicks reply, the reply will be emailed to the address you fill into this box. For example, if you sent an email from mike@aol.com and enter tim@aol.com into the "E-Mail Address" box then when someone clicks reply, the reply will be emailed to tim@aol.com and not mike@aol.com. Note: for COX and Road Runner email accounts enter only the first part of your email account and not the @xxx.com portion.

Enter your full email address into the "User Name" box and enter your email account password provided by LSI into the "Password" box. Make sure the "Remember password" box is checked or you will be required to manually enter your password for every send and receive.

Last enter the information shown above for the POP and SMTP servers if you are setting up an LSI email account. If you are setting up a Road Runner or Cox account then enter the appropriate information from below.

For POP servers ....

Road Runner email accounts enter pop-server.san.rr.com

COX email accounts enter pop.west.cox.net

For SMTP servers ....

Road Runner email accounts enter smtp-server.san.rr.com

COX email accounts enter smtp.west.cox.net

Next click on the "More Settings" button on the lower right.

Click on the "Outgoing Server" tab at the top and then check the box for "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" and make sure the "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" radio button is selected. Click "OK" .

You can now click "Test Account Settings" ... to verify operation. A pop up window will test all functions of the email account and show completed for each line. If there is an error please contact Dave for more details.

You can now click "Next" and "Finish" to complete the setup. Your Outlook email account is now setup and ready for you to use.

Happy emailing!
