How to setup an email account in Outlook 2003

IMPORTANT:

iProperty email account service fees include hosting and management of emails through our dedicated servers. All necessary details required for the account will be provided to the account holder and include password, username, incoming and outgoing mail server. Any additional assistance required for setting up third party software should be directed to the support team for the software provider. Services that can be purchased in addition to the hosting account include a once-off set up fee where a support staff member can guide you through the email set up using Microsoft Office. This is ONLY applicable during the set up of the email account and does not apply to pre-existing email accounts. To begin we will open Microsoft Outlook 2003 & go to "Tools --> Email Accounts"

• Click on the Advanced tab.
• Tick the 'Leave a copy of messages on the server' box
• Tick 'Remove from server' and select the number of days: Suggested number: 5-7 *Please note that email accounts only have limited storage space, so leaving messages on the server for too long may result in your mailbox becoming full, and rejecting any new messages* If you receive a 550 error stating that your mailbox has exceeded quota, you can reduce the number of days.
• IMPORTANT: These settings ('Remove from server') must be applied to every device used to receive emails.
