RSSIn this video tutorial I'll show you how to create a POP3 account in Outlook 2007. The steps are similar for creating any type of email account.
Before you start, make sure you have the correct POP3 and SMTP account names to use. If you need to use a specific port number or SSL, you'll need that information too.
The setting for Gmail, Hotmail (Outlook.com), GoDaddy, and Yahoo can be found at Online services.
