About this guide
This guide will walk you through the configuration of Microsoft Outlook 2007.
It assumes that you have already installed the program, but have done nothing more.

1) Open account settings

In Outlook, go to the "Tools" menu, and select "Account Settings".

2) Create a new account

Click on the "New" button on the "E-Mail" tab to create a new account.

3) Manual account setup

Check the box at the bottom called "Manually configure server settings or additional server types". Ignore the other settings.

4) Internet E-Mail account

Select the "Internet E-Mail" option and click "Next".

STOP: IMAP or POP3?

At this point you need to decide whether you will use IMAP or POP3 to check your email.

IMAP stores all of your email on the server (also making it available via webmail), and allows you to categorise your messages into folders.
POP3 is generally used where you only have one computer as it is designed to download (and delete) your mail from the server.

If unsure, use IMAP as it offers enhanced functionality and an easy migration path to POP3 if required later.

5a) Internet E-Mail Settings for IMAP

Enter your account settings as shown in the screenshot below, ensuring you choose "IMAP" as the account type.
The server name for both incoming and outgoing email MUST be "mail.keystroke-hosting.co.uk".
Your username is your full email address.

When done, click the "More Settings" button.

5b) Internet E-Mail Settings for POP3

Enter your account settings as shown in the screenshot below., ensuring you choose "POP3" as the account type.

Your username is your full email address.

When done, click the "More Settings" button.

6) Outgoing server settings

Select the "Outgoing Server" tab in the new dialog box that has opened.
Check the box that is entitled "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication".
Select "Use same settings as my incoming mail server".

7a) Advanced settings for IMAP

Select the "Advanced" tab in the dialog box.
Change both encryption type dropdown menus to be "SSL".
Ensure the port numbers are "993" for IMAP and "465" for SMTP.
