Outlook Server Settings Modifications

We have recently had to modify our email server. You will not be able to send or receive email until you do this.

Use the following steps to change your email server settings:

Outlook XP, and 2003 are very similar, with just some different verbiage.

 
1. Open Outlook (You will get an error in the lower right hand portion of the status bar)
2. Click on TOOLS>>ACCOUNTS

 

*In Outlook 2003:

TOOLS>>EMAIL ACCOUNTS

VIEW OR CHANGE EXISTING EMAIL ACCOUNTS

 

 
3. Select the mail account that appears in the "Mail" tab. (If the "All" tab is selected, click on "Mail.")

4. Click PROPERTIES

 
5. On the "General" tab you will see your basic information. There are no changes that need to be made here.

6. Click on the "Servers" tab.

 
7. In the two fields labeled

Incoming mail(POP3):
Outgoing mail (SMTP):

position your cursor after the l in "mail" and before the first (.)dot and type a 2.

Result:

mail2.sd391.k12.id.us

Make sure this is done in BOTH fields.

DO NOT CHANGE ANY OTHER SETTINGS!!!!

 
8. When you are finished it should look like the diagram to the right, except with your username.

9. Click OK

10. Click OK or close to finish.
