Open the Accounts view.
Because you can set up as many mail accounts as you want, the Internet Accounts dialog box
displays all your account information. To open it, choose Tools --> Accounts from
the menu bar. 
Create a new account.
The Internet Accounts dialog box has three tabs at the top. Click Mail to see only your mail
accounts. (We'll talk about the Directory Services later.) Choose Add to start creating a new
account.
Answer the Wizard's Questions.
Answer the questions on each page of the Internet Connection Wizard , choosing the Next
button to move from one question to the next.
Enter Your Server Names.
You may have to verify some of the wizard's questions. In particular, your POP server and
SMTP server names are. Your pop server and SMTP server are the same. They are "mail.yourdomain.com"
(without quotes.) Note: outgoing SMTP mail server can also be sent through your internet
service provider and you can use their settings if you prefer. However, the "Pop3" server must be
set to our server as just mentioned. This information is essential if Outlook is to properly connect to
your mail account for sending and retrieving mail.
Enter Your Logon Name.
In this section you will need to enter the username and password of the account that you
are trying to check. Example: If you want to check
me@mydomain.com, the username will be "me" and the password will be the one you set in the web
control panel.
Choose a Connection
Select the kind of Internet connection that your computer uses. It's often convenient to select Connect
Using My Local Area Network , even if you use a modem to connect to the Internet.
Set a Default Account
If you want to make your new account the default for sending email, select the account name and click
the Set as Default button.
