This dialog box also indicates the type of email server to which you are successfully connected.
      5. Click Finish, and then click Close to complete the account setup.

        Note If automatic configuration fails, the account must be configured manually.

        1. In the Your Name box, type your full name.
        2. In the E-mail Address box, type your full email address. 

          Your ISP provides this information. Your email address usually takes the form of a combination of your first and last name and the name of your ISP, separated by the at sign (@) and periods.

        • If you clicked POP3 or IMAP in the Account Type box, follow these steps:
          1. In the Incoming mail server box, type the name of the server. This is the server that holds your messages before you download them to the computer. Type the server name in lowercase letters. The name may be in the form of "mail.contoso.com." Or, the name may be in the form of an IP address, such as 172.16.0.0.

        • If you clicked HTTP in the Account Type box, follow these steps:
          1. In the HTTP Service Provider box, click the appropriate service provider for this account. For example, click one of the following:
            • Hotmail
            • MSN
            • Other
          2. If you clicked Other in the HTTP Service Provider box, type the URL to the mailbox in the Server URL box.
      5. Under Logon Information, follow these steps:
        1. In the User Name box, type your user name. The user name is usually the part of your email address that is to the left of the at sign (@).
        2. In the Password box, type the password that your ISP provided.
        3. If you want Outlook to remember your email account password, click to select the Remember password check box.
      6. If your ISP requires it, click to select the Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) check box to log on by using Secure Password Authentication.
      7. Click Test Account Settings. This feature calls a dialog box that shows in a step-by-step manner each testing phase of the configuration that you entered. When you click Test Account Settings, the following process occurs:
        • The connectivity of the system to the Internet is confirmed.
        • You are logged on to the SMTP server.
        • You are logged on to the POP3 server.
        • It is determined whether the POP3 server must be logged on to first. If it is required, Outlook automatically sets the Log on to incoming mail server before sending mail option.
        • A test message is sent. This message explains any changes that Outlook made to the initial setup.
      8. To make additional changes to your email account, click More Settings to open the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box.
      9. Click Next, and then click Finish.
