How do I setup Outlook 2003 for my domain?

Solution:


REGULAR CONFIG FOR OUTLOOK
1) run Outlook
2) open the Tools menu, and select "Email Accounts" (on some version of OE, it's called: Email Accounts)
3) if you've already got an account setup in there select "edit an existing account" [otherwise make your way through the add account screens using the info below, and then edit the account to match steps 11-17]
4) from the list, click on the account you want to edit, then click CHANGE
5) top blank is a friendly name, something like "BlueHost yourdomain.com" should do fine
6) Name = Your full name, with proper case (people will see this)
7) email address = your FULL address ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it )

15) password = whatever you set it to be, when you made the email account
