One of the easiest ways of configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 is by using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). Using IMAP, as opposed to other platforms, enables you to read email while it is still on the mail server. In fact, using IMAP allows you configure and use your account on one or more platforms, without losing the information stored on your email provider's server. This is especially helpful if you are interested in staying connected without being tied to a specific computer. For example, you can enable IMAP in Outlook while still maintaining access to your emails on your smart phone.
Instructions
Launch Outlook 2003, select "Tools" and then choose "Email Accounts."
Choose the "Add a new email account" radio button and then click "Next."
Choose "IMAP" and then click "Next."
Type your information under "User Information" and "Logon Information," respectively. Be sure you check the "Remember Password" box.
Enter your email provider's incoming and outgoing server information in the fields provided under the "Server Information" section.
Click "More Settings" and then enter a descriptive name for the account you are adding in the "Mail Account" field. For example, if the email account you are adding is your work email address, type "Work." Complete the "Organization" and "Reply Email" fields.
Select the "Outgoing server" tab, check the "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" check box, and then select the "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" radio button.
Click the "Advanced" tab, enter your email provider's server port numbers in the fields displayed (as provided to you by your email provider) and then check: "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)."
Click "OK" and then choose "Finish."
