The best thing about MSN Outlook is that it lets you manage all your files and information. But it doesn’t stop there. You can also use it to keep track all your appointments, take important notes and store contact information efficiently. But what people like most about MSN Outlook is that you can use it to access your email from your desktop. You can also configure it to all your other email accounts such as Yahoo and Gmail. But the thing is MSN email has various versions. It could either be a POP3 or web-based account. Furthermore, MSN Outlook has a few different versions lately, which means you have to be very careful in configuring your accounts. So how do you configure your email accounts correctly?
Configuring your accounts is quite easy. First, go to the ‘Start’ option and click Control Panel in MS Office Outlook 2007. From there, you look for “Pick a Category” and click on User Accounts. Then, you double-click on Mail and then proceed to Email Accounts. Once there, select the “Microsoft exchange, POP3, IMAP or HTTP” option, click the “NEXT” button and check the box allowing for manual configuration of the server settings. Afterwards, you click “Next” again. Then, you choose “Internet Email” and you enter in your account info such as your MSN email address, your password, and your name.
