POP Email Setup: Outlook 2013

POP Email Setup: Outlook 2013

​If you aren't sure of the difference between POP and IMAP and why you would use one or the other, please ​​click here.​

    ​ ​
  1. ​To set up your POP account, launch Outlook. Click on ​​File​​. ​



  2. ​ ​
  3. ​You will need to click on ​​Account Settings,​​ then again on the ​​Account Settings​​ in the drop-down. ​



  4. ​ ​
  5. ​You have a choice here. ​
    ​If this is a new POP account then select ​​New​​. You will see a couple of screens not pictured here. You will want to setup an email account and select POP ​
    ​If you already have the account setup and are changing the settings, then highlight the appropriate account in the list and click ​​Change ​



  6. ​ ​
  7. ​Enter these settings:​
    ​Incoming mail server: ​​pop.homestead.com​
    ​Outgoing mail server SMTP: ​​smtp.homestead.com​
    ​Enter your email for the User Name and your email password​
    ​If you select ​​New Outlook Data File​​, then you will see an inbox for each configured account on the left side of Outlook when checking mail. ​
    ​If you select ​​Existing Outlook Data File​​, then you will have all mail brought into a single inbox. Pictures of the 2 can be found at the end of these instructions. ​
    ​Click on ​​More Settings​​. ​

    ​  ​

    ​Below are how the different configurations will appear when using Outlook 2013. The first will have a single mailbox name with all configured accounts filtering into a single inbox. You can use Outlook rules to automatically move incoming emails to different folders for organization. The second image shows multiple inboxes. 1 for each configured account. ​

Hello,

These settings will allow a connection to outlook. Are you receiving this error while in the process of setting this up or after all settings are entered?
