The advanced settings for your email account are split between 4 tabs: General, Outgoing Server, Connection and Advanced

Below we'll explain what you can edit under each tab.

If you make any changes that you want to keep, click OK to close the window.

General

On this tab you'll see the name of the account holder and email address.

Make sure these are entered correctly. You can leave the Reply E-mail and Organization fields blank unless you have reason not to.

The General Tab

Outgoing Server

Here you can switch on SMTP authentication. If you want to do this, please see our Outlook 2003 SMTP authentication guide.

The Outgoing Server Tab

Connection

Use this tab to configure how Outlook 2003 connects to the internet. Unless you use different connection types (e.g. dial-up or mobile dongles), you should leave this set to Connect using my local area network (LAN).

The Connection tab

Advanced

Unless you want to keep a copy of your email messages on our server, you shouldn't need to alter the settings on this tab.

If you're using IMAP (rather than POP3), the Incoming server port number should 143, otherwise your settings should match the screenshot below.
