**How to Configure Outlook 2019**
1. **Launch Outlook**

2. **Access File Option**:
* Click on the “File” tab located in the top-left corner.

3. Add Account:

6. **Select Account Type**:
* From the available options, it's recommended to select “POP”. This option removes emails from the server after storing them for a specified duration (e.g., 30 days).
* Avoid selecting “IMAP” as it keeps the emails on the server indefinitely, which can fill up your storage space over time.

7. **Server Configuration:**
* Input your mail server name. Note: If you’re unsure of your mail server name, contact your support team for this specific detail.
* For demonstration purposes, the server name provided was "one-dom4.com", but your server name will likely differ. **Contact Support for your mail server.**
* Set the outgoing server to be the same as the incoming.

8. **Port & Security Settings:**

* For the incoming mail server, use Port **110**.
* For the outgoing mail server, change the port to **587**.
* **DO NOT** select SPA or SSL/TLS ( **INCOMING**)
* Set the encryption type to **STARTTLS (ST TLS). (OUTGOING)**

9. **Confirmation**:
* Confirm the following settings:
   
* Incoming mail server
   
* Incoming mail server port number (should be 110)
   
* Outgoing mail server port number (should be 587)
   
* Encryption method (should be STARTTLS)

10. **Finalize Setup**:
* Click “Next”.
* Enter the password for the email address you're configuring.
* Click “Connect”.

Once completed, your account will be set up and ready to use in Outlook 2019.
