Setting Up Sellstate Email on Outlook |
|
Your Sellstate.com email account can easily be set up for use through Microsoft Outlook. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to access your account through Outlook.
1. Open Outlook and select E-mail Accounts under the Tools tab. If E-mail Accounts does not show up in the Tools list, click the arrows pointing down to give you more options.
2. Select Add E-mail Account.
3. Select POP3 and Next.
4. Next, you will be asked for information specific to your email account. You will need to know your specific email address (example:
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
) and your password. If you do not have your email account and password, contact your office administrator. You will also need to insert the incoming and outgoing mail servers. For Sellstate.com email, both of these settings are the same: mail.sellstate.com. Note: Some Internet Service Providers require you to set the outgoing mail server to their local SMTP address. If you are unsure of how to check, use the same settings as the incoming server (mail.sellstate.com). If it does not work during testing to send mail, you may have to check with your local ISP for the correct outgoing mail server setting.
5. Once you have entered all of the information, it's time to check the settings to make sure that they work properly.
6. A pop-up window will show you the settings as Outlook attempts to communicate with the mail server. The account settings will test your incoming and outgoing mail. Make sure you are connected to the internet to test account settings. If testing encounters a problem sending or receiving mail, it will appear like this:
7. Once the test is complete, click the Close button ... but we're not finished. Click on the More Settings button.
8. A pop-up window will appear giving you several options from the tabs across the top of the window. From this window you can change the actual display name on the account to your name if you like; just highlight the name and insert your own. You can also put your company or title. You can also put in a different reply email if you want any responses to be sent to an email address another than the one from which you're sending your message.
9. Sellstate email requires the outgoing server to authenticate. Select the Outgoing Server tab and check the box that says My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication. The default setting also fills in the radio button to Use the same settings as my incoming mail server. If your local service provider requires that your outgoing server to be set at their local address rather than mail.sellstate.com, you may need to modify these settings to correspond with their settings.
10. Finally, select the Advanced tab. This gives you the option to modify several settings, but the only one you may wish to consider is the checkbox that says Leave a copy of messages on server. If you choose this option, it will allow you to check your Sellstate email account from any computer at mail.sellstate.com. Note: If you choose to leave a copy of the message on the server, be sure to log in to your account online and delete any messages that you do not want, or save ones you do want into a folder. Sellstate email accounts are unlimited, but regular maintenance requires us to delete any emails in your Inbox older than 120 days.
11. Click OK and then Next, and you're done.
