Start Outlook

Select Tools from the top menu and then select account on the drop down menu.

Click on the Mail tab. This will display any existing email accounts that are setup. It is possible to have multiple accounts setup if required.

Click the Add button and select Mail. The new mail account wizard will start, enter your name (or company name) in the display name panel. This is the name that your email will appear to come "from".

Enter your email address. This is the address that will appear as the from address on the email that you send. If you have a domain name enter your email address that you want your customers to use, eg:- wilbur@mycompany.com.au

Enter the mail server details as in the following panel. If you are using a Possums ADSL account or a Possums National Dialup Account use smtpr.possums.net.au instead for your outgoing mail server.

Enter your username as supplied by Possums and your Password. Optionally you can choose the remember password option.

Don't believe this screen – you are not really finished yet.

When you return to the Internet Accounts screen be sure to select the account that you want to use as your default. This is the account that will be used to send mail. If the other accounts are not required you may optionally delete them now.

OK now your account should be setup and ready to go. Click on the close button.

Just to make sure that your mail account has been setup properly, send a mail to yourself. This will actually send the mail off to the email server addresses to you. After sending the message click send/receive and see if you receive the email from yourself. It should only take a few minutes.

If your received your test mail then everything is ready to go.
