The first step is to add a new "Account" to your outlook settings. This is usually under the "Tools > Accounts..." menu. Once you open up the Accounts window, click the "Add" button (and then Mail if prompted) to begin configuring your email account!
Your "display name" should be the name you want your emails to come from.. usually just your name.

Your "E-mail address" should be the email address you want your emails to come from. This can actually be ANY valid email address in the world, even "president@whitehouse.gov". But you probably don't want people who reply to your emails to send them there! So, pick an email address that you've already set up through our Mail > Addresses area to forward to your mailbox!

Decide if you'd like to connect to our mail servers via POP3 or IMAP (follow that link to learn more about each one). Then enter your incoming and outgoing mail server names. They are both the same, simply mail.yourdomain.com.

Now, you'll have to enter your "Account name" and password. This is your mailbox username.

MAKE SURE "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)" IS NOT CHECKED

When you're finished, you should be brought back to the main "Account" page. You're not quite done! You won't be able to send email through our SMTP servers unless you do this:

Highlight mail.yourdomain.com and click "Properties".
Click the Servers tab.
Make sure "My server requires authentication" is checked!
Click ok!
We use authenticated SMTP (so that only our clients may send email through our servers and not spammers!) so you won't be able to send email without doing this! If you still get an error message when trying to send email, your ISP may block port 25!.
That's it, you're done configuring Outlook to use your email service!
