  11. Click Add a new email account and click Next.
  12. Select the POP3 option and click Next.
  13. Type in the customers’ information here. The incoming and outgoing mail server will be mail.theirdomain.com. Be sure to type in the complete email address in the User Name box. Leave the Secure Password Authentication box unchecked. Click Next.
  14. You will see a Congratulations message and simply click Finish. Have the customer click the Send/Receive button to make sure they receive an email from Outlook thanking them for setting up Outlook. Or try sending them a test email. If the email is not rejected, the email has gone through!
