Default Configuring my E-mail to work with Outlook 2007

"Neil McRae" n_mcrae[at]telus[dot]net wrote in message
...

Incoming server (IMAP): 143
Use the following type of encrypted connection: None

Outgoing server (SMTP): 587
Use the following type of encrypted connection: None


Can you telnet to those ports or your servers?

After my hosting account with iWeb was first set up, all I had to do was:

• Log into Panelbox.
• Click on "MAIL" icon.
• Click on the "EMAIL ACCOUNTS" tab and select "Add a New Email
Account" from the drop-down list.
• Fill in the required fields ("neil" for the Email/name and
"stuntsillusion.com" for the domain) and then click on "Create" to submit
and finish the creation of my E-mail account.

When I went to configure my account through "Outlook 2007" after I got my
new PC, I:

• Clicked the "Tools" menu and chose "Account Settings..."
• Clicked the "Add New E-mail Account" button.
• Selected "Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP"
• Checked the box that says "Manually configure server settings or
additional server types."
• Clicked "Next" then chose "Internet E-mail.".


If you've followed the instructions that iWeb gave you for connecting to the
server and it still doesn't work, your best recourse is trying to get your
service provider to resolve it with you. I don't think I can help any more.
