How to configure Outlook in Microsoft Office

Configuration of Outlook 2007

Open Outlook 2007

If this is the first time you open Outlook 2007 since its install, a window will
 immediately pop up asking  you to setup your email account. 
Click yes and proceed.

If this is not the first time you open Outlook 2007, no setup window will pop up.
To setup a new email account just click on Tools and select Accounts Settings like in the
following picture:


The E-mail Accounts wizard will open
Click New
A new window will open for you to Choose your E-mail Service
Select Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP ou HTTP
Click Next
* A new window will open for an Auto Account Setup
Select the Manually configure server settings or additional server types option
Click Next
A new window will open for you to Choose your E-mail Service
Select Internet E-mail
Click Next
A new window will open to setup your Internet E-mail Settings.

These are the most common settings BUT you should ONLY use the ones provided
 by your email provider.

Incoming server (POP3): mail.server.com | port 110 | No encrypted connection
But in it can also be mail.anotherserver.com | port 995 | encrypted connection: SSL

Outgoing server (SMTP): mail.server.com | port 587 | No encrypted connection
But in it can also be mail.anotherserver.com | port 465 | encrypted connection: SSL
Requires authentication with your username (your email) and password (provided by your email provider)

Never leave copies of messages in the server otherwise your server account will keep
pilling up emails until its full, resulting in errors and preventing you
from sending and recieving emails (and deleting them from your Outlook's inbox will make no difference)

Now imagine this is you:Your name: Peter Smith
Your email: petersmith@server.com

Insert your data as the following picture:

Click ok button and its done, Enjoy using Outlook 2007
