Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
To add a Claranet email account to Classic Outlook with POP details, use manual setup:
- Open Classic Outlook and select File > Add Account.
- Enter the Claranet email address.
- Select Advanced options.
- Check Let me set up my account manually and select Connect.
- Select POP.
- Enter the incoming and outgoing server settings, port numbers, and SSL settings supplied by Claranet.
- Enter the account password and select Connect.
- If setup fails, select Change Account Settings and correct the values using the POP/SMTP details from Claranet, then select Connect.
- Select Done.
If Outlook starts with automatic setup and there is a need to control POP delivery behavior before the first download, create the account through Control Panel > Mail (Microsoft Outlook) instead:
- Close Outlook.
- Open Control Panel > Mail (Microsoft Outlook).
- Select Show Profiles.
- Select Add to create a new profile, or use the existing profile.
- Select Email Accounts > New.
- Select Manual setup or additional server types.
- Select POP or IMAP.
- Enter the account details from Claranet.
- Before finishing, select More Settings > Advanced.
- Under Delivery, enable Leave a copy of messages on the server if mail should remain on the server.
- Clear Remove from server after 14 days if that behavior is not wanted.
- Select OK and finish setup.
Notes:
- Manual setup in Classic Outlook is supported for third-party email accounts using POP or IMAP.
- If specific POP and SMTP values are required, those must come from Claranet.
- Most of the time, Outlook will prepopulate some settings, but they can be edited during advanced setup.
