How do I set up Outlook to use POP3?

Setting up a POP3 account

1. The first time you launch Outlook, this window will pop up automatically. (If you've set up Outlook before, you can get to this wizard by going to Tools > E-mail Accounts and choosing Add a new e-mail account in the window that pops up.) Click Next to get started.
   
   
   
2. You've chosen to set up a POP3 account, so select that option and click Next.
   
   
   
3. This is the important screen. Fill this out as you see it below, replacing Cecil's information with yours. Once you have this window set, click More Settings...
   
   
   
4. Go to the Outgoing Server tab. Check the box next to My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication. Use same settings as my incoming mail server should already be selected.
   
   
   
5. Now go to the Advanced tab. Check both boxes at the top that say "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)." You also need to change the port number for "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" to 465.
   
   
   
6. Click OK on this window, which will return you to the bigger window you were at before. If you click Test Account Settings..., a little window will pop up informing you whether you've configured it correctly.
7. Your account is set up! Click Finish.
   
   
   

Downloading mail from the server

To check your e-mail with POP3, you have to download it from the server. Rather than downloading it manually every time, you can set Outlook to automatically check the server for new messages and download them to your computer. Here's how:

1. Click the arrow button next to Send/Receive and go to Send/Receive Settings > Define Send/Receive Groups...
   
   
   
2. Make sure the boxes next to Schedule an automatic send/receive every _ minutes are checked, and decide how often you want this to happen. Click Close, and your automatic downloads will be scheduled.
   
   
   

You can also check for new messages whenever you want by simply hitting that Send/Receive button.

Setting up the Pomona address book

1. Go to Tools > E-mail Accounts... Select Add a new directory or address book and click Next.
   
   
   
2. Select Internet Directory Service (LDAP) and click Next.
   
   
   
3. Enter ldap.pomona.edu for the server name, and enter your username (in CAMPUS\xyz0200x format) and password in the appropriate boxes. Click Next.
   
   
   
4. That's all! Click Finish and you'll be done! (You'll have to restart Outlook for the address book to appear.)
