Setting Up Profiles phần 21. In their fight against spam, many SMTP servers require authentication before accepting outgoing email. Your ISP or email provider should tell you if you need to enable outgoing authentication. If you cant send mail and suspect authentication issues, try enabling POP before SMTP or outgoing authentication.2.3. The Connection tab controls how Outlook connects to the mail server (see Figure 2.6). In most cases, youll use the LAN option if you have cable or DSL service. Use Connect Using Internet Explorer or a 3rd Party Dialer if Outlook can connect using any active Internet connection. If you need to dial a specific account to check your mail, select Connect Using My Phone Line and select the Dial-Up networking connection from the Dial-Up Networking connection list. Figure 2.6. Use the Connection tab to control how Outlook connects to your email server.4. Use the Advanced tab to configure the ports Outlook uses to connect the email server (see Figure 2.7). In most cases, youll use the defaults with ISP accounts. When alternative ports are required, your email provider will tell you. If you have a slow connection to your mail server, you might need to increase the Server Timeouts in intervals of 30–60 seconds. When you want to check your mail from more than one computer, youll want to check the box to Leave a Copy of Messages on the Server. You can set Outlook to remove the messages after so many days or when you delete the messages from Outlook. Figure 2.7. Use the Advanced tab to configure Outlook to leave copies of your mail on the server when you want to check your email for other computers. Unless you have an unlimited mailbox, youll want to select one or both of the Remove from Server options. When you choose to delete messages from the server when theyre deleted from Outlook, theyre deleted from the server during the next send-and-receive cycle after emptying the Deleted Items folder or after using Shift+Delete to delete the items.After youve selected the options you need, choose OK and then click Next, and yourefinished setting up your account. A small dialog will display to tell you that its setting upyour message store. When its completed that task, Outlook opens.If you have to set up additional accounts, open the E-mail Accounts dialog using Tools,E-mail Accounts and repeat the preceding steps for POP3 accounts or use the followingsteps for IMAP and HTTP accounts.Task: Add Additional Accounts to Your ProfileOutlook doesnt limit you to one account per profile. Because many people have morethan one email account, its not unusual for people to have five or more accounts in asingle profile.For this exercise, were going to add an IMAP account to an existing profile. If you usean IMAP account as your default account, select IMAP in the initial setup wizard andbegin with step 3. 1. Choose Tools, E-mail Accounts to open the E-mail Accounts dialog. 2. Choose Add a New E-mail Account and then click Next. 3. Select IMAP from the Server type dialog, and then click Next. 4. The Account Settings dialog is almost identical to the one used for POP3 accounts, as shown in Figure 2.2. The exception is the lack of the Test Account Settings button. Enter your name, email address, and server names, as well as your username and password in the correct fields. Save your password if your computer is secure, and enable Secure Password Authentication if required. 5. Click the More Settings buttons to access additional configuration settings for your account. 6. On the General tab, enter a friendly name for this account, an organization name, and a reply email address if needed. A friendly name is helpful when you use an IMAP or HTTP account because its used to identify the message store in your folder list. 7. Select the Outgoing Server tab and configure your authentication settings. Many IMAP accounts require outgoing SMTP authentication, normally using the same settings as the incoming email account. If you use a different provider for your SMTP server, enter the username and password for that server here. 8. Use the Connections tab to configure your connection type. This is identical to the dialog used for POP3 accounts. 9. If your server uses nonstandard ports or you need to increase the server timeouts, make the appropriate change on the Advanced tab. This dialog differs only in that the delivery options shown in Figure 2.7 arent here. In their place is a root folder path field. If your administrator gave you a root folder path, enter it on this tab; otherwise, leave this field blank.Press OK and then click Next, then Finish and your IMAP account is ready to use.Outlook adds a new message store to your profile for each IMAP account. If you haveonly one account and its an IMAP account, youll have two message stores in yourprofile: the local store and the one that holds a local copy of your IMAP mailbox. When you need to edit your account settings, choose Tools, E-mail Accounts to open the E-mail Accounts dialog. Then choose View or Change Existing Accounts. Select the account in the E-mail Accounts dialog and choose Change or double-click on the account name. The Internet E-mail Settings dialog opens, as shown in Figures 2.2 and 2.5.Configuring an HTTP AccountWhen you want to use Outlook to access your Hotmail or MSN account, choose theHTTP account option.
