Setting up e-mail - Outlook 2010

MijnHostingPartner.nl strongly recommends to update to a later Outlook version, this for more options and security. Outlook 2010 is no longer supported by Microsoft and therefore also not by MijnHostingPartner.nl.
The manual below is to be used at your own risk and we do not provide support for it anymore.

To configure your mail in Outlook 2010 follow the next steps:

1) You open Outlook 2010

2 ) You click on the tab'File' in the upper left corner of your screen.

5 ) In the next screen you can leave everything as it is. Click on'Next'.

6 ) In this screen you have the choice to configure your mail as POP3 Account or as IMAP.

- POP3 -> You pull all mail from the server to your mail program. You decide what you do with the mail. The mail does not remain on the server. Continue with point 7.1 to 7.6

- IMAP -> You synchronise your mail. Mail and folders on the server match your mail program. Mail remains on the server and you can access all your correspondence via the webmail. Continue with point 8.1 to 8.6

NB. If there is an error in this article we would appreciate it if you would report it. We will then correct it. We thank you in advance for the effort and input!

Troubleshooting:

If you have problems with the incoming mail then you can try to log in to webmail.mijnhostingpartner.nl and test your password and details. See the previous steps for the server details and your account.

For outgoing mail problems:

If you have followed the previous steps and you cannot connect to the smtp host then we recommended that you try logging into webmail.myhostingpartner.co.uk again. If you are able to log in successfully then you can change the outgoing port to port 26
. Some Internet Service Providers block port 25.
