The following procedures pertain to setting up an additional email account using Microsoft Outlook 2002.

1. Open the Outlook 2002 mail client program.

2. Select the Tools menu and then E-mail Accounts. The following dialog will appear.

3. Select Add a new e-mail account and then click Next.

Please note: The “Server Type” is chosen by user preference. POP3, the most commonly used setup, downloads the incoming email directly to the user’s hard drive.

4. Select POP3 and then click Next.

Please note: Within the next dialog, you will need to complete your information fields as it appears in the example below. The Server Information must be configured as follows in order to successfully send mail from this account while connected to your home Internet Service Provider. The Outgoing mail server (SMTP) is configured to use your home ISP server (e.g. Comcast’s Outgoing server) and the Incoming mail server will remain (FDU) mail.fdu.edu.

As a reminder, each Internet Service Provider has their own specific server name and you should only use the proper name for the provider to which you are currently subscribed.

5. Once information fields have been completed, click on More Settings.

6. Within the General Tab of the dialog, please type a Mail Account name that will be easily recognized. Also, complete the remaining fields with the appropriate information.

7. Then click on the Advanced Tab.

8. Within the Advanced Tab fields, select the box “This server requires an SSL-secured connection” under Incoming server (POP3). This should change the value to 995.

9. Click OK to apply the changes.

10. You will return to the main account setup dialog to review your information.

11. Click Next to proceed.

The final dialog will appear to confirm the successful creation of the specified email account.

12. Click Finish to complete the account configuration.

If you wish to review your newly created account, please follow the first two procedures and then select View or change existing email accounts. The following dialog will appear.

The Default tag should be associated with your main FDU account, to ensure your mail will be delivered properly while connected on campus.

Now when using the Outlook program to compose email, you will be able to select the specific account to send the message. Refer to the dialog below that displays the described action.

Please note: When selecting the FDU Webmail from Home account to send the message, you are utilizing the Outgoing server configuration that allows this action through your ISP.

You are now ready to use this newly created account to send and receive email while connected to your home ISP.

IMPORTANT VERSION NOTICE: There is a current issue using Outlook 2002 and this particular configuration. Each time the program performs a send/receive function, a dialog prompts you to login. It will perform a successful send/receive once you click OK, but it will constantly prompt to login, even if you select the Save password check box. This does not occur in Outlook 2003.
