Updating settings in Outlook 2003

In order to update Outlook 2003 to use the new mail server, the following changes need to be made on a previously working installation on Outlook 2003.

These instructions are for @berkshire.net Email addresses. Modify as necessary for hosted website accounts.

First, start Outlook 2003. Configuration of Outlook 2003 does not require your computer to be logged into the internet.

Next, select tools from the menu bar..

On the tools dropdown select E-mail Accounts.:

Select "view or change existing email accounts" and select next.:

Select the account you want to work with and select Properties:

In the tabs across the top, select Servers. In the section labeled Account Name, add @berkshire.net to the username and select "More Settings"..

The next step depends on how you gain access to the internet. Some ISPs require that you use their outgoing Mail Server. Check with your provider. This has been tested with BerkshireNet's access service.

In the Outgoing mail section place a checkmark in "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" and select :"log on using." and enter User Name in the form of username@berkshire.net and enter your password.

Click on ok all the way out of the settings windows.

Now connect to the internet if necessary and test by sending yourself an email. please call 413 442-7805 if you have a problem (Please check your spelling before calling)
