Outlook Configuration

For Outlook

1. In Outlook, go to the Tools menu and click on Email Accounts.
2. Select Add a new email account and then click Next.
3. Select POP3 and then click Next.
4. Enter your email information:

Your Name: your name
Email Address: matt@castleman.net (the email address the messages will be sent from)
Incoming Mail server (POP3): mail.castleman.net
Outgoing Mail server (SMTP): mail.castleman.net
User Name: matt@castleman.net
Password: the password for the email address

5. Click on More Settings and Select the Outgoing Server Tab. Check My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication. Select Use same settings as my incoming mail server.

6.Click Ok. Click Next. Click Finish.

If you cannot send email using mail.yourdomainname.com as your SMTP server,
it may be because your ISP is blocking port 25 on their network, used for sending outoing mail via the SMTP protocol. In this instance, we recommend using your ISPs outgoing mail server, which can be obtained from your ISP.
