Internet Explorer
1. Open Internet Explorer (After New Install)/ “Connect via LAN” (Note: the “Internet Connection Wizard” can also be opened via Start\Programs\Accessories\Internet Tools)
2. LAN Internet configurations: don’t check anything, as we don’t use proxy settings.
3. When prompted: “Set Up Email Now?” answer NO! Complete Email Setup later.
4. Upon Finish: Optional: type in “company.company1.com” in address bar of IE. In Tools/Internet Options, Home Page, select “Use Current” :>
Outlook 98 Setup
1. Select “Mail” in IE to open up Outlook 98. Or open from Desktop, etc. Assuming this is the first time, set up a new account. (Another option: Open Outlook 09, Tools/Accounts). Input the user’s full name first, then email address (user_name@company.company1.com).
2. Input: POP3/SMTP Information: first, POP settings: “pop.adc.company.company1.com”
3. Then, SMTP server name: “smtp.adc.company.company1.com”
4. The Password=”password” (until first log on, then user will be forced to change).
5. Advanced: no changes (ports are set correctly by default)
6. When Completed, if needed: Open Outlook 98 and: go to Tools/Options/Mail Delivery, check ‘Send Messages immediately’ (if you don’t do this, many new users WILL contact IT Support complaining that the Email does not work: messages sit in the outbox by default for a matter of time). Then, change Mail Format to HTML. OK, this is debatable. However, there have been many requests, especially from the Business Development and Marketing-related groups, to have more email formatting options available.
