Microsoft Outlook 98 and 2000
This document will help you configure later versions of Microsoft Outlook 98 and Microsoft Outlook 2000 to manage your E-Mail account.

Step 1
Open Microsoft Outlook.

Step 2
On the Tools menu, select Accounts. The Internet Accounts dialog will appear.

Please Note: Some versions of Outlook do not have an Accounts listing in the tools menu. If instead it says Services click here for further instructions. If it says E-mail Accounts, click here.

Click on the Mail tab at the top to see if any accounts are already set up. If you aren't going to be using this software for any other E-Mail service, remove any accounts by selecting the account name and clicking on the Remove button to the right. Once the mail tab is blank, continue on to the next step.

Step 3
Click the Add button and select Mail. You will be prompted to enter your name. Enter your name as you would like it to appear on messages you send out. When someone receives your mail, it will show that it came from whomever or whatever you enter in this field. When you're done, click Next.

Step 4

Enter your full E-mail address. (Ex. username@core.com, username@voyager.net, etc…)

Step 5
Now, you'll be asked to provide the names of the mail servers you use. Here is the information you need to know:

Your incoming mail server is a POP3 server.

	Your Incoming Mail Server is dependant upon your E-mail address. If you already know your incoming mail server, type it in where indicated below. If you are not sure what your Incoming Mail Server is, please click here before continuing.
	Your outgoing mail server is smtp.core.com

Enter the information as shown here and click Next when you've done this:

Step 6
Now you'll need to enter the following

• Your Account name (username) and password. Your Account name is the first part of your E-Mail address (everything before the @ symbol). Make sure your Account name is typed in all lowercase.
• We do not use Secured Password Authentication. Do not check this box.

Once you have entered the necessary information, click on Next.

Step 7
Now, click Finish to save all of your information.

Step 8
You'll notice that the Internet Accounts dialog box now shows that your Mail Account is installed. Click the Properties button and then the Servers tab.

This will be indicated by what you typed in earlier as your Incoming Mail Server.

Step 9
On the servers page you will notice that the Incoming and Outgoing mail server information has already been filled in. Place a check next to "My server requires authentication". Click the Settings button.

	Your Incoming Mail Server is dependant upon your E-mail address. If you have been following this walkthrough, then the Incoming Mail Server should already be in this field. If it is not, please click here to locate your Incoming Mail Server settings, and then type them in where indicated below.
	Your outgoing mail server should read smtp.core.com. If that is not in the Outgoing Mail Server field, type it in where indicated below.

Step 10
Select the Log on using option and enter your E-Mail address and password where indicated.

Your Account Name is your full E-mail address (Ex. username@core.com, username@voyager.net, etc…)

Click OK and then OK again. At the Internet Accounts dialog box, click the Close button. Your Outlook E-Mail is now configured to work with our mail server.

Helpful Pointers for using Outlook:

• Outlook automatically checks for new messages periodically while the program is open and you are connected to our service. If at any given time you want to force the software to check for messages immediately, simply click the Send and Receive button in Internet Mail.
• After setting up Outlook, it is often helpful to close the program and then restart it.
• To write a new message, simply click on the New Mail button. Make sure you enter in the full Internet E-Mail address correctly to ensure the message gets where it's supposed to go.
• When replying to a message, just click the normal Reply button. This will send your reply to the author of the message that you're replying to.
• If a message you're replying to was sent to a group of people, you can click the Reply to All button to send your reply to everyone on the list, but it is advised that you do this only when necessary.
