Mac Solution: How can I set-up e-mail using Microsoft Entourage?

1. Open Entourage, located in Mac HD > Applications > Microsoft Office X > Entourage. The following screen appears:



Click Yes. The Entourage Setup Assistant opens.

2. Type your first and last name and click the right arrow at the bottom of the screen.



3. Enter your home address and telephone number, then click the right arrow.



4. Enter your company name, work address and telephone number, then click the right arrow.



5. If this is a new Mac, you cannot import the mail directly into Entourage, so select "I want to start using Entourage without importing anything", then click the right arrow.

Please Note: If you were using an email client (e.g., Outlook Express, Eudora), select "Information from my e-mail program", then click the right arrow.



6. Do not enable the junk mail filter; simply click the right arrow. (You can change this setting later if you choose.)



7. Type your name, then click the right arrow.



8. Type your e-mail address, then click the right arrow.



9. Select "POP" from the drop-down menu, in the Incoming mail and Outgoing mail server fields, enter smtp.[your domain name] Example: smtp.systel.net



10. Enter your account name. Your account name is your entire e-mail address. Enter your e-mail password. You will not see your password as you type. Dots will appear for each character entered to keep the password hidden.



11. For Account name, type a descriptive name for the account, such as your domain name.



12. Click the Finish button.

Now that you have setup an e-mail account within Entourage, you will need to check the new account for the appropriate settings to send mail.

13. With Entourage open, select Tools > Accounts.


14. At the Mail tab, double-click on whatever you named your new account (as indicated in step 11).



15. In the screen that appears, under Sending mail, click the "Click here for advanced sending options", as shown below:
