Howto - Setup Microsoft Outlook Outbound (SMTP) Authentication.

These instructions assume you already have an email account setup in Outlook.

All of Logicalsolutions.net's Email servers require SMTP authentication before mail is allowed to relay (from external networks) through either servers. If you are having problems sending outbound email using Microsoft Outlook

1. Open up Microsoft Outlook
2. Goto TOOLS --> Email Accounts



3. If not already checked, check the "View or change existing e-mail accounts" radio button
4. Click Next >



5. Select your account in the drop down list and click the Change button.

6. Verify that all of your email account settings are correct:
a. Your Name = Your name as it is displayed to and recipient.
b. E-mail Address = Your email address you want recipients to reply back to.
c. Incoming mail server (POP3) = Do Not Change - Leave what you have
d. Outgoing mail server (SMTP) = Do Not Change - Leave what you have
e. User Name = Your mail account on the server (email aliases will not work here) (Example: test@test.com)
(Your username is critical and needs to be your full account + domain. Example: test@testcom)
f. Password = The password that was set on the mail server (qmail toaster.admin)

7. Now click the More Settings button.



8. Then click the Outgoing Server tab in the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box.

9. Check the "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" check box
(Use same settings as my incoming mail server should be default)

10. Click OK
11. Click Next
12. Click Finish


NOTE: You must finish the E-mail Accounts wizard by clicking Next and Finish or the settings will not take effect.


After finishing the wizard, try and send a test email out. If you are still having problems, try restarting your Outlook or even your computer before asking for support.
