Microsoft Outlook Account Settings

Please note: The screen shots may vary slightly in layout or colour depending on the settings on your PC. This page is meant as a guide. If you really get stuck then you need to consult a local IT support company to help you set your machine up.

The first thing you need to do is open Microsoft Outlook and select 'Tools' and then 'Email Accounts from the menu at the top of the screen. You should then get a screen like the one below.

You need to select 'View or change existing account' and then click 'Next'.

On the next screen, choose the account you wish to edit. You'll probably only have one account so select the account you want to change and click on the 'Change' button. The screen should look something like this:

The next screen that opens will be asking you to fill in all your account details. You will have been given your username, password and server settings when we set up your account. Just fill in the relevent boxes as per the screenshot below.

When you've filled in the form, click on the button that says 'More settings...'. Your should see a screen with 'tabs' along the top edge. You need to select the 'Outgoing Server' tab and make sure it looks like the screen shot below.

Once you've done this, click 'OK' to return to the previous screen. Click on the 'Next' button and then the 'Finish' button and you should be up and running!
