Important Points

• These instructions assume your email account has already been setup and is collecting email correctly.

• Take a note of any settings you change.

• Only change the items specified - you should not need to change either your email address, POP3 server, POP3 username / password.

• These instructions are only for Microsoft Outlook 2007 - for other email programs please see How To Setup inboxFX SMTP Server or contact us.

• We have instructions for alternate port which is generally used if your ISP blocks the normal port 25 SMTP access (as most ISPs do these days!).

Step One

• Tick 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication'

• Select 'Log on using'
