Microsoft Outlook 2007/2010
- Go to Tools –> Account Settings. (In Outlook 2010 this can be found by going to File –> Account Settings.)
- Dialog box pops up and opens to “Email” tab by default. At the top left of the dialog box hit “New…”.
- Check off “Manually configure server settings or additional server types” and hit “Next”.
- Select the “Internet Email” option.
- Input requested info (Name, Email). If you will be configuring your email account on a smart phone as well as Outlook choose the “IMAP” option under Server Information –> Account Type. If you will only be using your email through Outlook choose “POP3″ under the Server Information –> Account Type setting. Incoming mail server/Outgoing Mail Server should be set to “mail.ohmedia.ca”.
- Logon Information.. Username should be your email, Password should be your email password.
- After entering the details, press “More Settings …” In the “Outgoing Server” tab, check the checkbox labelled “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication”. There should also already be a mark beside “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”.
- In the “Advanced” tab, immediately beneath the “Incoming server (IMAP):” or “Incoming server (POP3):” line, find the box labelled “Use the following type of encrypted connection:” and select “SSL” from the dropdown.
- Click OK.
- When all info is input and correct hit “Test Account Settings”.
- You will be prompted to login using the Username/Password you just set up. (Remember: Username is your email, Password is your email password.)
- Outlook will run a test login and email, if configuration is set up correctly you will see two green check marks beside each task. Hit close on the test account settings.
- Click “Finish” in the main dialog box and you’re done!
