Instructions for Setting Up Entourage 2004
Open Entourage and choose Tools from the menu bar at the top
of the screen:
Now click Accounts, which will bring up the Accounts Window:
If you are setting up a new mail profile in Entourage, click
the New button, and then click Mail:
Now you will see the Assistant for adding a new profile, and
the first thing it will ask you for is a Display Name:
After you enter a proper name like "Steffi Graf",
click on the right arrow on the lower right hand side of the
window.
Now enter the email address that you want as the return address
on all your outgoing mail like: SGraff@USOpen.org
Now click on the right arrow on the lower right hand side
of the window.
The next item asks what type of server your incoming mailserver
is. Choose POP3. Then enter your Incoming Mailserver in the
next field, which is: mail.USOpen.org. In your case is either
mail.knowtechnology.net or Mail2.knowtechnology.net (You have
received the information in a previous email.
Now enter an Outgoing Mailserver. The Outgoing Mailserver
should be the outgoing mailserver provided by your ISP where
you get your own internet connectivity. You will need to contact
your ISP and ask them what this setting should be. Usually
it is something like: smtp.comcast.net
After inputting Incoming and Outgoing mailservers, click on
the right arrow.
Now you will be asked for an Account Name and Password. Enter
your Modwest Mailbox Login Name (not email address) and Password
here exactly as you did when creating mailboxes in your Control
Panel or when you first signed up for hosting (your FTP username
is also a Mailbox Login Name).
If you forgot the mailbox login names, you can see a list
of them in your Mailboxes & Settings in OnSite. The mailbox
login name is the same as the mailbox name and looks like:
johnsmith not johnsmith@johnsmith.com
Also on this screen, check the "Save password in my Mac
OS keychain" box for your convenience.
Now click on the right arrow. Now click Finish.
That process will create a mail account profile in the Accounts
window:
If you already had a mail profile setup in Entourage, or if
you just finished setting one up as described above, then click
the account that you would like to modify. In our case it was
the John Smith Email (POP) listed in the Accounts window above.
Then click the Edit button on the top.
That will bring up the Account Settings tab of the Edit Account
window:
Make sure that Receiving mail POP server is mail.modwest.com.
Also make sure that the Account ID and Password has your correct
Modwest mailbox login name password filled in.
The Midwest POP
server should work fine on the default receiving options.
If you would like to check these settings click
on the "Click here for advanced receiving options" button
below the Incoming Mailserver. Our POP server does not require
a secure connection. In addition you should not override
the default POP port (110) or use a secure password:
Make sure that the SMTP Mailserver is set to whatever your
Internet Service Provider (ISP) says that it should be. You
must contact your ISP where you get your own internet access
to find out what the correct setting is for this item. All
ISPs that provide an internet connection for your computer
in your home or office should also provide you with an outgoing
mailserver so that you can send mail from your own computer.
Usually the server name is something like: mail.yourisp.com
or smtp.yourisp.com
You will have to also ask your ISP whether you should check
the box that says "SMTP server requires authentication".
With most ISPs you will not need to check this item. However,
if your ISP tells you to check this item, then also click the "Click
here for advanced sending options." button below the Outgoing
Mailserver. Check the box that says "My Server Requires
Authentication". Click the radio button next to "Log
on using:" and fill in your username and password that
you use to sign on with your ISP, not your Modwest login name
and password. Check the "Save password in my Mac OS keychain" box
for your convenience.
