Microsoft Outlook XP and 2003 Setup

The following instructions will guide you through configuring Outlook XP or Outlook 2003 to access your TRLinks Mail Account:

note: We will be using the domain 123widgets.com as an example domain. Please replace 123widgets.com with your domain information in the below examples.

    Tools -> Email Accounts

  3. In the next window, you are prompted to choose the type of server you will be connecting to. Choose POP3 and click on the Next button.

    • Your name: Your real name
    • Your e-mail address: Your full email address, ie: joeuser@123widgets.com
    • The incoming mail server: Set this to mail.123widgets.com (replace this with mail.yourdomain.com )
    • The outgoing mail server: Set this to mail.123widgets.com (replace this with mail.yourdomain.com )
    • NOTE: Due to problems with various ISPs (Internet Service Providers) you may not be able to connect to and thus use 'mail.123widgets.com' as your outgoing mail server on the standard email port. This is an issue beyond our control. ISPs known to have issues are AOL, COX, Verizon, Earthlink, Verio, Netzero, MSN, Mindspring, SBC, Yahoo and others.
