To Access Your Outlook Account Settings

1. Log in to Outlook.
2. From the Tools menu, select Email Accounts.
3. Select View or change existing email accounts and click Next.
4. Select the account you want to change and click Change.

Login Information

User Name: Your full email address

$1 .COM Domains - Cheap .COM Domain Name. Matches your email account password

Server Information

Incoming mail server(POP3): pop.secureserver.net

Outgoing mail server(SMTP): smtpout.secureserver.net

Server Port Numbers (Advanced Settings)

Incoming server(POP3): 110

Outgoing server(SMTP): 25, 3535, or 80.

NOTE Some Internet service providers (ISP) employ a firewall that prevents relays from using port 25. If your account is not working, try one of these other port numbers. If none of these works, you might have to use your ISP's outgoing server.

MX (mail exchange)records route email messages across the Internet. They direct email messages to the server(s) approved to accept messages for your domain name. If your MX records do not point to approved servers, your email cannot reach you.

There are several tools, such as the Email Test tool found at www.dnsstuff.com that you can use to check your MX records. Once you select a method for checking your MX records, confirm that they are:

• Mail exchanger = smtp.secureserver.net., MX preference = 10
• Mail exchanger = mailstore1.secureserver.net., MX preference = 50

If your MX records do not match these, you can reset your MX records.

To Reset Your MX Records

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. In the My Products section, click Domains.
3. Click the domain name that contains the MX record you want to change.
4. On the Domain Details page, under the Total DNS Control section, click Total DNS Control And MX Records. The Total DNS Control page opens.
5. In the MX (Mail Exchangers) section, click Reset to Default Settings.

Some firewall and antivirus security settings might prevent Outlook from working properly. You may have to allow pop-ups from Outlook, adjust your site blocker settings, or change other settings. Try changing your security settings to allow emails to be sent and received.
