Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2000 to use Apex POP3 Email

Microsoft Outlook 2000 is compatible with our POP3 servers, to read/send email. To set up Outlook to read/send mail with your Apex account, please follow these steps:

1) Open Microsoft Outlook. If it is your first time using Outlook a Wizard will automatically pop up. You can click Cancel in the Wizard.

2) Go to the Tools menu, then to Accounts. Next click the "Add" button, and select "Mail" (see below).

3) A new window called "Internet Connection Wizard" will pop up. Type in your full name and click Next.

4) Enter your email address into the field "E-mail address:", and click Next.

5) Make sure "My incoming mail server is a" is set to POP3. Then please enter "mail.apex-internet.com" for both the Incoming mail server and the Outgoing mail server spaces. Click Next to continue.

6) Enter your account name (this is your username assigned to you, not your email address), and your password.

10) The next window can be configured to meet individual requirements. We recommend selecting "I will establish my Internet connection manually." for most cases. Click Next to continue.

11) The next window will explain that all of the information has been entered. Click Finish to go back to Outlook.

12) Go to the Tools menu, then to Options. Click the "Mail Delivery" tab. Please make sure that "Send messages immediately when connected" is checked, and also that "Check for new messages every..." is checked with a number of 20 or less entered for minutes. (See illustration below). Click Apply and OK to close the window.

13) You are now ready to begin using Microsoft Outlook 2000 to access your POP3 mail.
