MS Outlook 2002 / 2003 - Using Another ISP's Mailbox

Unwired allows you to access your email in many different ways. For those of you who do not wish to use the Unwired interface, you may also receive your email using POP3 mail standards, and send via SMTP.

This guide will help you create settings so that you may use your Unwired email account with other clients.

Each step is illustrated by a screen shot. Follow the detailed instructions under the screen shot to complete the step.

Step 1: Select email accounts

Open your Microsoft Outlook program. At the top of the menu, select the Tools option, and scroll down until you see E-mail Accounts... Select the E-mail Accounts option and proceed to Step 2.

Note: If you don't see Accounts right away it may be hidden. Click on the small downward arrow at the bottom of the Tools menu to reveal any hidden menu options.

Step 2: View existing accounts

The next window you will see is the E-mail Accounts window.

Select the View or change existing e-mail accounts option. Then, click on the Next button and proceed to the next step.

Step 3: New account, or update existing account

You may already have the mailbox from your other ISP configured. If you can see this account in the list, and it is of type "POP/SMTP" then select it, click on Change and proceed to step 5 (thus skipping step 4).

If you do not have an existing mailbox configured, or it is not of type "POP/SMTP", then click on Add and proceed to step 4.

Step 4: Server Type (only needed when adding a new mailbox)

Under the Server Type click the POP3 option, and click the Next button to continue.
