Configure MS Outlook Express Version 6
To configure Microsoft Outlook to access your POP3 Greatmail account,
you should use the following settings:
Incoming mail server [POP3]: greatmail.com
Outgoing mail server [SMTP]: greatmail.com
Account name: yourname@greatmail.com
Password: yourpassword
Advanced Settings:
POP3 port number: 110
SMTP port number: 25
Note about SMTP/Outgoing Server
Outgoing Server/SMTP requires authentication. Some internet service
providers do not allow their customers to use third party SMTP servers.
Please contact your ISP if you are uncertain about your ability to use
other SMTP servers to send mail. If your ISP requires that you you use
their SMTP server, simply substitute your ISP's outgoing server name
in the mail server setup (See Step 5).
