This tutorial shows you how to set up Microsoft Outlook to work with your e-mail account. This tutorial focuses on setting up Microsoft Outlook 2003, but these settings are similar in other versions of Microsoft Outlook. You can set up previous versions of Microsoft Outlook by using the settings in this tutorial.

Attention: Perform the above configuration on one of your email accounts first before applying the configurations to all of your computers.

1. In Microsoft Outlook, select Tools > E-mail Accounts.

2. On the E-mail Accounts wizard window, select "Add a new e-mail account" and click Next. If you need to edit settings on an existing account, click view or change existing email accounts, click next, and go to step 4 below.

3. For your server type, select "POP3" and click Next. 

4. On the Internet E-mail Settings (POP3) window, enter your information as follows: 

• Your Name
  Enter your first and last name.

• E-mail Address
  Enter your e-mail address.

• User Name
  Enter your e-mail address, again.

• Password
  Enter the password you set up for your e-mail account.

• Incoming mail server (POP3)
  Enter pop.mailnexus.com for your incoming mail server.

• Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
  Enter smtp.mailnexus.com for your outgoing mail server.

• Click More Settings.

NOTE: "yourdomain.com" is an example, if your domain name were "ABCcompany.com", you would enter "ABCcompany.com" into the field.

If you discover your ISP is blocking port 5125, chances are they are also blocking port 25. Either one should work, though it is more common that port 25 be blocked.  You will need to call your ISP and ask them to open port 5125 for you. Otherwise, you will have to change back to using your ISPs outbound email server.

5.  On the Internet E-mail Settings window, select the "Outgoing Server" tab.

6.  Select "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication." 

7.  Select "Use same settings as my incoming mail server".

8.  Select the "Advanced" tab and change the "Outgoing server (SMTP)" port to 5125.  

9.  Click OK.

10.  Click Next. 

11.  Click Finish.
