Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2002/XP

This document describes how to configure Microsoft Outlook 2002/XP to receive mail from your @nevcal.com account.

You can open Microsoft Outlook on your computer by going to Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Outlook.
Once in Microsoft Outlook, from the Tools menu, select E-mail Accounts. Then select the radio button marked Add a new e-mail account and click Next.



Select the radio button marked POP3 and click Next.



In the User Information fields, enter your name and your e-mail address as you would like others to see them (possibly mixed uppercase and lowercase letters).

In the Server Information fields, enter pop.nevcal.com as the Incoming mail server and smtp.nevcal.com as the Outgoing mail server.

In the Logon Information fields, enter your e-mail address all in lowercase letters as the User Name and your password as the Password. Then click More Settings.



Click on the Outgoing Server tab and check the box labeled My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.

Then select the radio button marked Use same settings as my incoming mail server.



Click on the Advanced tab and verify that the Incoming server (POP3) is set to 110 and the Outgoing sever (SMTP) is set to 26. Then click OK.



Microsoft Outlook has now been configured for your account! Click Finish; then click on the Inbox icon in the left navigation menu of Microsoft Outlook to see the inbox of the e-mail account you have just set up.




Testing Your Account

Send yourself a message (or have a friend send you a message) from another e-mail address to make sure that you are properly set up to receive mail. Click on the Send/Receive button to receive your incoming e-mail.

Next, send a message using Outlook to another e-mail address to make sure that you can send mail.

If you do not receive an error message when you receive or send mail, your Microsoft Outlook is configured correctly.
