Pre-requisites.

Before you start, please ensure you have your full email address and your email address password. These details are referred to as your email credentials.

Set up Outlook with POP/IMAP email

Click the right mouse button on the Windows button and type control. You should see a link to the Control Panel.

Once in the Control panel select Small Icons (Link at very top right of the window).

Select Email Accounts.

From the row of flaps, select Email. Then Select New to set up your email address.

Here in the Change Account window, you can enter your email credentials. If you are using IMAP, then change pop.ionos.co.uk to imap.ionos.co.uk

In the Internet Email Settings window, you can enter the senders details which can be seen on the recipients Outlook. In this case, they will see that the email comes from “Colum Maguire from Megganet”.

Tick the square tick box that says My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication. This provides some outgoing security.

Detailed settings

Set your incoming server (POP3) to port 995 / (SSL/TLS)
