Configuring Microsoft Outlook

To create a a new email account in Microsoft Outlook for sending and receiving email through Aledo BroadBand's mail servers, click here.

For help with modifying an existing Outlook account, or to confirm your existing settings in Outlook, follow these steps: 

1. Open Microsoft Outlook and click on Tools -> Accounts

2. In the Internet Accounts dialog box, click on the Mail tab. This will show you a list of your existing mail accounts. If you don't have an email account listed, you need to create one. Click here. Otherwise, select the account you wish to modify and click on the Properties button.
3. The "General" Tab

Type a name for the account. The name you type here is only so you can identify the account in the above screen.

Name: Type the name you want people to see when they receive an email from you.

Organization: (Optional)

E-mail address: This is the email address people will see when they receive an email from you.

Reply address: If you leave this blank, when people reply to your email, it will be sent to the address specified in the E-mail field. If you want replies to go to a different address - or to multiple addresses - type the address(es) here.

 

4. The "Servers" Tab

This screen determines how Outlook will fetch and send your email. 

Incoming mail: This should be set to "mail.aledobb.com". If you want it to retrieve email from a different server, for example, an email account that you have at work, or some other domain, you can specify that server's name here. Contact your network administrator for the name of the mail server.

Outgoing mail: This should be set to "mail.aledobb.com".

Account name: This is the user name of the account in question. For AledoBB email addresses, this needs to be your full email address - eg: "jdoe@aledobb.com", not jdoe" --without the quotes, of course.

Password: If you don't want to type in your password each time your computer checks for mail, type in the password here and check the "Remember password" box.

NOTE: If this is a laptop and you travel or if you are a DSL customer, you must select the "My server requires authentication" option.

 

5. The "Connection" Tab

Select "Connect using my local area network".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
6. The "Advanced" Tab

Outlook's defaults work just fine.

Outgoing mail: "25"

Server does not require SSL, so leave this blank.

Incomig mail is 110 with no SSL.

Allow 1 minute for timeout

Do not break apart messages

Unless you want to, don't leave a copy of messages on the server. This option would be used if you want Outlook to view emails on your laptop or at the office, for example, but still want to download emails to your primary computer at home. 

Repeat this process for any additional email accounts you may have.
