Setting Up Outlook on Windows PC

If your email is hosted on SecureServer.net through MakeYourNetwork, follow these steps to configure your email account in Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer.

These settings are for SecureServer.net email hosting using IMAP.

Step 1 - Open Microsoft Outlook

Open Microsoft Outlook on your Windows PC.

If this is your first time opening Outlook:

• Select Add Account.

If Outlook is already configured:

• Select File.
• Select Add Account.

Step 2 - Enter Your Email Address

Enter your full email address.

Example:

yourname@yourdomain.com

Click Connect.

Step 3 - Select Manual Setup

If Outlook attempts to automatically configure the account as Microsoft 365 or Exchange:

• Select Advanced Options.
• Enable Let me set up my account manually.
• Select IMAP.

Step 4 - Enter Your Password

Enter your email password when requested.

Step 5 - Incoming Mail Settings (IMAP)

Step 6 - Outgoing Mail Settings (SMTP)

Step 7 - Complete Setup

Click Next or Add Account.

Outlook will test the connection and begin downloading your emails.

Troubleshooting

• Make sure your username is your complete email address.
• Confirm your email password is correct.
• Check that SSL/TLS encryption is enabled.
• Ensure IMAP is selected instead of POP.
• If Outlook keeps requesting a Microsoft 365 login, remove the account and repeat the setup using manual IMAP configuration.
