Configure MS Outlook Express Version 6
Note: The following instructions are not intended for email hosting accounts. For support configuring your hosted domain's email, please contact your administrator.
To configure Microsoft Outlook to access your POP3 Greatmail account, you
should use the following settings:
Incoming mail server [POP3]: greatmail.com
Outgoing mail server [SMTP]: greatmail.com
Account name: yourname@greatmail.com
Password: yourpassword
Advanced Settings:
POP3 port number: 110
SMTP port number: 25
Note about SMTP/Outgoing Server
Outgoing Server/SMTP requires authentication. Some internet service providers do not allow their customers to use third party SMTP servers. Please contact your ISP if you are uncertain about your ability to use other SMTP servers to send mail. If your ISP requires that you you use their SMTP server, simply substitute your ISP's outgoing server name in the mail server setup (See Step 5).
