This tutorial shows you how to set up Microsoft Outlook to work with your e-mail account. This tutorial focuses on setting up Microsoft Outlook 2003, but these settings are similar in other versions of Microsoft Outlook. You can set up previous versions of Microsoft Outlook by using the settings in this tutorial.

NOTE:  If using Outlook 2007, the steps are pretty much the same.  The main difference is in how you get to the email accounts.  You will click on Tools > Account Settings > New.  Everything else should be the same.
