Outlook 2007 is a very popular desktop email program. It allows you to configure all your email accounts to let you read and send mail from your desktop. This tutorial is going to show you how to setup an Email Account in Outlook 2007. NOTE: There are several versions of Outlook. Make sure which version you are using, as they are all a little different.
The first thing you need to do before you can configure any email program is create an email account in your web hosting account. This is usually done through your cPanel, and if you have any questions on how to do that, please view the tutorial "How to Create a POP EMail Account".
