The first step is to add a new Account to your outlook settings. This is usually under the Tools > Accounts… menu. Once you open up the Accounts window, click the Add button (and then Mail if prompted) to begin configuring your Mr.Host e-mail account.<\/p>\n

Your display name should be the name you want your e-mails to come from.. usually just your name.<\/p>\n

Your E-mail address should be the e-mail address you want your e-mails to come from. This can actually be ANY valid e-mail address in the world so, pick an e-mail address that you’ve already set up via the E-Mail sections of the Customer Control Panel.<\/p>\n

Decide if you’d like to connect to our mail servers via POP3 or IMAP. Then enter the incoming mail server:\u00a0mail.mrhost.ca<\/strong>, and the outgoing mail server:\u00a0smtp.mrhost.ca<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, you’ll have to enter your Account name and password. You’re username should be your FULL e-mail address.<\/p>\n

MAKE SURE Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) IS NOT CHECKED<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you’re finished, you should be brought back to the main Account page.\u00a0You’re not quite done!<\/strong> You won’t be able to send e-mail through our SMTP servers unless you do this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Highlight mail.mrhost.ca and click Properties.<\/li>\n
  2. Click the Servers tab.<\/li>\n
  3. Make sure My server requires authentication is checked!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Click ok!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We use authenticated SMTP (so that only our clients may send e-mail through our servers and not spammers!) so you won’t be able to send e-mail without doing this! If you still get an error message when trying to send e-mail, your ISP may block port 25!.<\/p>\n

    That’s it, you’re done configuring Outlook to use Mr.Host’s e-mail services!
    \nRemember that if you JUST added a mailbox or e-mail address through our control panel it may not be active yet. Please try and wait at least 15 minutes for the address to work, before contacting support about problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
