Configuring
Outlook2007 |
Configuring Outlook2007 is fairly straightforward
and
not that much different than with previous version
If you have a Existing PST file you want Outlook2007 to use,
it requires just a bit more to do but saves time in the long-run
The steps below detail both procedures. |
| 1. |
After installing Outlook, click on the Outlook icon on the desktop |
| 2. |
This will bring up the following screen. Click on Next |
 |
|
3. |
Check Yes and click on the Next button |
 |
|
4. |
Click on the Add button |
|
5. |
I've found it faster to manually configure the settings |
 |
|
6. |
For now we'll go ahead with a regular Internet E-Mail setup |
 |
|
7. |
Fill in with all the information provided by your ISP or tech support. |
 |
|
8. |
If your Outgoing mail server requires authentication, click on the
More Settings button and enter the appropriate information |
 |
|
9. |
If your ISP uses something other than the default ports, click on the
Advanced tab and enter them. |
 |
|
10. |
Under the General Tab I like to put in the person's name or something
more descriptive than the default which is the e-mail address. |
 |
|
11. |
Click on OK which will bring you back to the main setup window |
|
|
|
12. |
Click on Test Account Settings |
|
13. |
If it works, then click on the Next and Finish buttons |

configure
Outlook to use an Existing PST file or configure it to use one other
