Set up Outlook

Open Outlook and go to 'Tools' / 'Email Accounts'. Select 'Add a new email account'. 'Next'.

Select 'POP3'. 'Next'.

'User Information':
Enter your name and the new email address.

'Logon Information':
Enter your new email address into the 'User Name' block and your password.

'Server Information':
Type pop3.mywebsite.co.za in the 'Incoming mail server (POP3)' block (replace the words 'mywebsite' with your own domain name).

Type mail.mywebsite.co.za in the 'Outgoing mail server (SMTP)' block (replace the words 'mywebsite' with your own domain name). 'Next'.


For Host4Africa's outgoing mail server, we need to change two more settings.

Click on 'More Settings'.

Click on the 'Outgoing Server' tab and add a 'tick' next to the words 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication'. Select 'Log on using' and once again enter your email address as the 'User Name' and your password.


Finally, go to the 'Advanced' tab and under 'Server Port Numbers', change the 'Outgoing server (SMTP)' to 587.


'OK'. 'Next'. 'Finish'.

If all went well you should now be able to send and receive email with your new email account.
