How to configure Outlook to access your mail

To setup your email account up on Outlook, please make sure you have first created the email account in your cPanel. For steps on this, please go to http://www.fastwayweb.com/members/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=2.

If you are using Microsoft Outlook Express, click:
Tools > Email Accounts > POP3 or IMAP > Click Next


If you are using Microsoft Outlook 2003, click:
Tools > Email Accounts > Add A New Email Account > POP3 or IMAP > Click Next


If you are using Microsoft Outlook 2007, click:
Tools > Email Accounts > New > Name, Email address, Password > Click Manually configure server setting or additional server types


If you are using Microsoft Outlook 2010, click:
File > Info > Account Settings > Add And Remove Accounts or Change Existing Connection Settings > New > Name, Email address, Password > Click Manually Configure Server Setting Or Additional Server Types > Click Next > Internet Email


When creating a new account, you can either create it as a POP3 account or an IMAP account. IMAP would be more suitable if you plan to access the same email account from multiple devices (PC, laptop, phone, tablet etc)
