Before Continuing

Please visit your MyFreeola account and make a note of the following information before continuing, you'll need to know this for later on in the guide:

1 - What protocol your e-mail address is set up to use (IMAP or POP3).

2 - What service is assigned to your e-mail address (EmailPro, Free Email or One Address).

3 - Your e-mail address password.

You can find this information by clicking Email Settings in the left-hand navigation in MyFreeola, then My Email Addresses. You should then be able to click Settings & Features button next to the relevant e-mail address to view all required email settings.

  1. Load Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 from the Windows Start Menu.

  2. Select File, Info then click Add Account.
    Microsoft Office Outlook File Info Menu

  3. You will then need to select the Manually configure server settings or additional server types option and press Next to continue.

  4. In the next window you will be asked to enter Freeola's e-mail settings.

    Your Name: enter the name that you would like to appear on outgoing mail.
    Your email address will need to be entered, in full, into the Email Address field.
    Account Type will be IMAP or POP3 depending on the setting in your MyFreeola account.
    Incoming Mail Server should be in the format of yourdomainname.freeolamail.net where 'yourdomainname' is your domain name with any dots ( . ) replaced with hyphens ( - ).

    For example, if your domain name was freeola.co.uk, the incoming mail server would be freeola-co-uk.freeolamail.net.
    The Outgoing mail server (SMTP) should be set to use smtp.freeolamail.net. Please Note: This server is only accessible if you are subscribed to our EmailPro or One Address services or are using a Freeola Internet connection.
