BACK TO EMAIL SETUP MAIN

Follow the steps below to setup your email in Apple's Entourage

 

1) Open Entourage, go to the "Tools" menu (if you get other pop-up screens when opening Outlook Express, close them until you can click on the "Tools" menu), and click on "Accounts..."

 

 

2) When the "Internet Accounts" window appears, click on the "Mail" tab. Click and hold on the "New" button, moving your pointer over the "Mail..." label and release the mouse button.

 

 

3) When the "Account Setup Assistant" dialog starts, begin filling out Your name: the name you want to appear on all your emails you send to people. At the bottom left of this window, click Configure account manually.

 

 

4) In the New Account window, choose IMAP, the recommended protocol for U of MN e-mail, unless, as an advanced user, you have a reason to use POP. Click OK.

 

 

5) In the Edit Account window, fill in the following information:

Account Settings
Account name: Your full name
Include this account...: (optional)

Personal information
Name: Your full name
E-mail address: <your internet ID>@umn.edu

Receiving mail
Account ID: <your internet ID>
IMAP server: <your internet ID> mail.yourdomain.com (where yourdomain is your own domain name)
Password/Save password: (optional)

Sending mail
SMTP Server: if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is NOT Mweb, Iburst, Vodamail or Polka - you can use the same as the incoming mail server. If it IS one of the above, you need to contact them to get the correct outgoing SMTP mail server.

 

 

6) Set advanced receiving options:

This IMAP service requires a secure connection (SSL) should be checked.

Override default IMAP port: check if 993 isn't set, and reset to 993 if needed.

 

 

7) Set advanced sending options:

SMTP service requires secure connection (SSL) should be checked.

Override default SMTP port should be checked and changed to 587. If you have trouble sending e-mail with this configuration, try port 465 instead.

SMTP server requires authentication should be checked.
Use same settings as incoming mail server should be set.

 

 

8) Settings in the Options tab are optional. The settings shown in the Advanced tab are preferred, but the "Delete options" can be altered to suit your needs.
