Email :: Mail Client :: Outlook IMAP — New Setup

Before you begin setting up Outlook, you must install the HSU Security Certifcate. Information about certificates and instructions for installation can be found by clicking Install Certificate.

1. If you are starting up Outlook for the first time, click Next from the Welcome page and the Account Configuration screen will be displayed as shown. Select the Yes option to continue setting up Outlook for use with your HSU email account, and then click Next.
   
   

   
   

   
   
2. Select IMAP if you're going to use multiple computers to view your email and you want to leave your email on the Server. Click Next.
   
   

   
   

   
   
3. Fill out the displayed form with your name, email address, etc. Be sure to specify the IMAP and SMTP server names as shown under Server Information below.

   If you want this computer to remember your email password, check the box labeled Remember Password that appears beneath the Logon Information. If other people use the computer you're working on, it's more secure without this option selected.

   Click More Settings to display the E-Mail Settings screen. There are four tab sections that you'll need to fill out.

   
   

   
   
4. In the Mail Account box under the General tab, you can enter a name for your email account. This name doesn't change your HSU email account, it only changes how Outlook refers to that account.

   Add an Organization if you want that additional identifying information included with every email you send. Add a Reply E-mail address if you want replies sent to an address other than your HSU address.

   
   

   
   If you are off campus, click the Outgoing Server tab. Click the box indicating that the SMTP server requires authentication. User authentication helps to keep server access secure. On-campus users skip to the Connection tab.

   
   

   
   
5. Click the Connection tab to specify the type of email connection you will be using.
   

   If you are on campus or on another Local Area Network that is connected to the Internet, select the first connection option, LAN.

   If you have a dial-up modem and you want Outlook to dial the connection, select the second option to use your phone line. You will then be prompted for the modem setup information.

   If you normally dial-up, but have some other program do the dialing, select the third option to use a 3rd party dialer.

   
   

   
   
6. Click the Advanced tab to enter the appropriate Server Port Numbers. Change the Incoming server (IMAP) to 993 and the Outgoing server (SMTP) to 587. For the Incoming Server only, check the box that indicates the server requires an encrypted connection (SSL).
   

   
   

   
   
7. When you are through with all the E-Mail Settings tabs, click OK to re-display the User Information/Server Settings screen. From there, click Next and then click Finish from the E-mail Accounts screen to complete the setup process.
