8. Click Next.
9. Click Internet E-mail.
10. Click E-mail, and then click Next.
a. Based on your earlier input, some of the text fields in the dialog box may already have text in them. Verify that the entries are correct.
11. Under User Information, enter the the following settings:
a. In the Your Name box, type your full name the way that you want it to appear to other people.

Note: You have the option to have Outlook remember your password by typing it in the Password box and selecting the Remember password check box. If you choose Outlook to remember your password, you won't have to type your password each time you access the account. However, this also makes the account vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer.

a. Click More Settings. On the General tab, under Mail Account, type a name that will help you identify the account. This can be anything
b. Click Test Account Settings to verify that your account is working. If there is missing or incorrect information, such as your password, you are prompted to supply it or correct it. Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
15. Click Next and then Finish to complete your outlook email setup.
