Sending emails with Outlook 2007
After you have created POP3 mailboxes for the email addresses of your internet presence, you can set up your email program to retrieve your emails directly. In this section, we will show you how this works with Outlook 2007.
Configure automatically with Autodiscover
automatic configuration
With the Autodiscover function, configuration can be performed in a more or less automated manner. The Autodiscover function is already enabled for you in every STRATO hosting package.
Please first start your Outlook 2007 and open the Extras / Account Settings menu item and click then on the Newbutton.
After entering your data, please click on the Next button. Outlook will now automatically search for the required server settings. During the search, you will receive a notification; please confirm it.
The notification appears because STRATO stores the settings in a central file that cannot be reached via your domain. Your mailbox is automatically set up with encrypted settings. Switching to SSL manually is no longer required.
Manually set up Outlook 2007
Start Outlook and select the Account Settings option from the Extrasmenu.
You now have the option of setting up a new account or editing an existing account. Switch to the email tab and then click on the New button.
Now enable the Manually configure server settings or additional server types and click on Next.
- Please enter a name for this mailbox in the first field. This is only meant to provide better clarity in the event that you would like to retrieve several email mailboxes.
- In the input fields that follow, enter your email address and the password for your email mailbox . The user information entered appears as the sender for your emails. (Use the email address that you configured as the mailbox in the customer login)
- Please select the correct account type: POP3 or IMAP. You can find help for deciding which account type is the right one for you here:
- As the inbox server, please enter pop3.strato.de (or for IMAP imap.strato.de) and as the outbox server entersmtp.strato.de.
Make sure to disable the option Log in through secured password authentication here. - Then click on Advanced Settings.
If you would like to test your settings, click on Test account settings .
If you have created several email mailboxes in your customer login please proceed as described in this manual for each account.
