How do I setup Outlook 2013

I just downloaded Office 2013 and want to configure Outlook for my email.  for some reason it keeps getting hungup on the outbound server.  Can anyone provide the full details (once and for all)?

@Anonymous27015, the settings in that previous post appear to be stale.  It is over a year old.

 

I'd recommend you look here:

Hi kpunty@sbcglobal.net

Just checking up on your post. Did the document that beebeesa attached help answer your question? Do you need any additional assistance with the Outlook issue?

Could you please advice settings for a third party email client (company domain) on MS outlook 2013 , not Att mail account ! the internet provider was not Att, actually outside the countrt.

 

The settings I was using :

Incoming server (POP3) to :  mail ."co name".com    where the " co name" is the domain , port 110

Outgoing server (SMTP) to : mail ."co name".com    where the " co name" is the domain  also, port 25

 

I got advice to use :

 

Incoing server : mail ."co name".com    where the " co name" is the domain , port 110

Outgoing server : smtp.att.yahoo.com , port 465 , ssl

And shoud tick the : my server require authentication , and use my login ID and pas word to Att in order to go throught the ATT email server

 

It works fine sending email to some domains , but other consider my e-mai las spam , and return undelivered report.

 

Any of you guys can help advice the correct settings as ATT is the ISP

 

Thanks

Mike

Great instructions, thank you!!! I've been procrastinating this set up for years!  I don't come across a place where Outlook in needed to respond to a website that often and many times I can capture the e-mail address to enter it at yahoo.att.  This still took awhile but it was user error - didn't have the correct user name, password, etc.  Once the instructions were followed to a "T" it was quick and smooth!

To set up ATT acct on Outlook 2013 do the following:

Your name:  Put name you want to appear on your email. If you don't want your name here, put initials or a fake name for spammers.

 email address: ***@att.net  or whatever email you have with ATT

 

Account type: IMAP  (automatically pre-entered by Outlook as it checks your ATT settings)

Incoming mail server:  imap.mail.att.net  (this is no longer POP3, but IMAP)

Outgoing mail server (SMTP):  smtp.mail.att.net

 

User name:  ***@att.net  (same as the email you use to login to your ATT acct)

password:   use your ATT password for login

 

Remember Password:  check this box

Do not logon using Secure Password Authentication:  DO NOT check this box

 

click on MORE SETTINGS box

Under GENERAL tab:

- Mail account name should be your ATT email: Johnboy@att.net

 

Under OUTGOING SERVER tab:

- My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication:  check this box

- Use same settings as my incoming mail server: check this button

 

Under ADVANCED tab:

- Incoming server (IMAP):  Enter '993'

-Outgoing server (SMTP): Enter '445'

for both of these select 'SSL' from drop down boxes

the rest of the items are usually filled in by Outlook but you can modify these preferences later.

 

Click OK to get back to main panel.

Click NEXT to test out your connection.

Msg will tell you first if INCOMING mail connection works, then will test out the OUTGOING mail with a test email in Outlook.  Message box should say 'test completed', and you should have an email in your Outlook Inbox.

After downloading Outlook 2013, I following these instructions to reconnect my email account. I was able to successfully complete the log onto the incoming mail server (IMAP) test. However the test continues to fail when attempting to send a test message.

 

What are the steps to correct this error? Will this disconnect the ability to view my email on both my Apple product and Outlook?

 

Any guidance is appreciated, this is getting frustrating.

My sbcglobal account was working great in my outlook until I changed my password because yahoo was compromised and now I get error codes.  pop.att.yahoo.com no longer works.  I get the test mail if I sign in at yahoo but not in outlook
