Outlook using Setup Wizard
To begin the
setup wizard, you will need to open Outlook by either double clicking
on the icon on your desktop, or by going to the Start menu and selecting
Programs and then clicking on Outlook. Once you have done this, you will
need to click on the 'Tools' menu and select 'Accounts'.
Next, make sure that the 'Mail' tab is up front and click on 'Add'
and then 'Mail'.
Now
enter the name you want to appear on all emails you send out, then press
'Next'.
Enter your email address in the format below.
Enter the mail server information as shown below.
Enter your entire email address, then enter your password in all lower
case. Make sure the 'Remember password' box is checked, and hit 'Next'.
On the next
box, make sure the top choice is selected and hit 'Next'.
The next screen you see will depend on the version of Outlook that
you have. However, whichever version you have will prompt you through
the process in selecting which dialup connection to use. The final screen
will be a finish screen similar to the one shown below; you are almost
ready to send and receive email.
Once the wizard screen has closed, go to the 'Tools' menu, then down to 'Accounts'.
Now click on the 'Mail' tab and highlight your Leapfrog email account. Hit the 'Properties' button on the right.
Click on the 'Servers' tab. Make sure to put a check in the box that says
'My server requires authentication'.
Hit the 'Apply' button, then the 'OK' button, then close out of the 'Internet
Accounts' window.
Next, go back to the 'Tools' menu and choose 'Options'.
Click on the 'Mail Delivery' tab and make sure the box to 'Check for new
messages every xx minutes' is set to 10 minutes. Hit the 'Apply button
in the bottom right corner of this window, click 'OK', and you are now
ready to send and receive with your new Leapfrog email account.
