But I have all my Email settings correct and Outlook still doesn't work!

To Set Up Your E-mail Account in Microsoft Outlook

1. In Microsoft Outlook, select Tools > E-mail Accounts.

2. On the E-mail Accounts wizard window, select "Add a new e-mail account" and click Next.

3. For your server type, select "POP3" and click Next.

On the Internet E-mail Settings (POP3) window, enter your information as follows:

1. Your Name - enter your first and last name.
2. E-mail address - enter your e-mail address.
3. User Name - enter your e-mail address here - it is your username.
4. Password - enter the password you set up for your e-mail account.
5. Incoming mail server (POP3) - enter mail.yourdomain.com, where "yourdomain.com" is the name of your actual domain.
6. Outgoing mail server (SMTP) - enter mail.yourdomain.com, where "yourdomain.com" is the name of your actual domain.

5. Click "More Settings."

5. On the Internet E-mail Setting window, select the "Outgoing Server" tab.

Select "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication."

Select "Use same settings as my incoming mail server". Click OK.

6. Click Next.

7. Click Finish.

NOTE: Before you call LA Servers regarding your domain name eMail not working correctly with Outlook, check your domain name eMail account using Webmail. If you can see eMail on the server using Webmail and Outlook won't check your eMail for this account, the problem is with Outlook, not with LA Servers.

If you're sure you have all your Email settings correct and Outlook still doesn't work, delete the Email account and add it again. Clients have told us that sometimes this is the only way they can get Outlook to work again.
