How to configure Microsoft Outlook 2000 or Outlook 98 to Send & Receive Mail

This page explains how to set up Microsoft Outlook 98 or Outlook 2000 to send and receive e-mail for a POP mailbox that you've created. (The screen shots below are from Outlook 2000, although Outlook 98 is similar.)

Tip: make sure that the program you are using is Microsoft Outlook, and not Microsoft Outlook Express. These two similarly named programs have different set up instructions. Be sure you do not see the word "Express" on the screen when you start the program.

1. Start the Microsoft Outlook program.

You can use the Start menu to start Outlook. When it opens, click Tools, then Accounts from the menu bar:

2. The "Internet Accounts" window appears.

On the right-hand side, click Add, then Mail.

3. The "Internet Connection Wizard" window appears.

The wizard first asks for your name. This is the name that other people will see when you send them e-mail. It should usually be your real name, such as John Smith or Joan of Arc.

Type the name you want other people to see when you send them e-mail, then click Next.

4. The wizard asks for your Internet E-mail Address.

Enter your e-mail address, then click Next. The address must be the e-mail address of the POP mailbox you created in your account management control panel.

5. The wizard asks for your E-mail Server Names.

Leave the server type as POP3. Type mail.tigertech.net as the name of both your incoming and outgoing server, then click Next.

6. The wizard asks for your Internet Mail Logon.

The "Internet mail Logon" is your e-mail username and password.

  • Type your e-mail address as your account name (it must be all lowercase).
  • Type your e-mail password, which is the password you chose for this e-mail address when you created the mailbox in your account management control panel. Or, we may have created it for you. Remember that this password may be different from your master account password.
  • If you wish, check the Remember password box to have Outlook remember your password so that you don't have to type it each time you send or receive e-mail.

The window should look like this:

Click Next when finished.

7. Microsoft Outlook asks for a method of connecting to the Internet.

Usually you will already have a connection to the Internet. In these cases you can choose I will establish my Internet connection manually.

Click Next when you have selected the appropriate option.

8. The wizard tells you that you've entered all the information.

Click Finish.

While the wizard has collected the basic information needed to receive e-mail, one other change is needed to make sure that you can send mail. Continue with the steps below to finish setting up Microsoft Outlook.

9. Continue with Outlook setup.

The "Internet Accounts" window should still be open. Highlight the new e-mail account and click Properties.

10. The "Properties" window appears.

Click the Servers tab and check My server requires authentication (at the bottom of the window). You don't need to click Settings; the default settings are fine. Also, note that you should not check Log On Using Secure Password Authentication.

11. Change the SMTP port number.

Changing the SMTP port number ensures that your ISP will not block outgoing mail connections to our mail servers.

  • Click the Advanced tab.
  • Change the Outgoing mail (SMTP) port number from 25 to 587.

12. Close the setup windows.

Click OK to close the Properties window, then click Close to close the Internet Accounts window.

The setup is complete.

You're finished! Try sending yourself a test e-mail message to make sure it works.

    Just recently used this trading site to convert my BTC to Tether USD
    TRC-20. In my opinion, the transaction was incredibly fast
    and easy. It surprised me how quick the process was.
    Previously, I also tested Ethereum to USDT pairs through this exchange.
    Every trade completed smoothly. I love the accurate exchange calculator.
    No hidden fees — everything was clear and fair.

    The dashboard was clean, and even a beginner could handle the transaction without help.
    Moreover, security measures seems very solid.
    Verification was minimal, while still the process remained safe.

    One negative aspect is that customer service took some time.

    It’s not a huge problem, but faster replies would make the service even more professional.

    Despite that, I got exactly what I expected.
    Funds appeared in my TRC-20 wallet. That’s why, I highly encourage other crypto traders to visit this platform
    and take a look at the detailed post about different cryptocurrency pairs.

    Anyone interested in changing BTC to USDT TRC-20, this platform should be on your list.
    They also allow ETH, USDC, DOGE, TRX, and more.

    In summary, my experience was satisfying. Fast speed,
    low fees, simple design, and reliable swaps. It’s now my go-to exchange every time I
    convert BTC or ETH. Don’t miss out! Read their full article — you’ll find it helpful.

    Lately tested this exchange to swap my BTC for stablecoin on TRC-20.
    From my own experience, it went super smooth. It surprised me by the transaction speed.

    Earlier, I also tested BNB to ETH pairs on the same
    platform. All transactions went through smoothly. I really
    like the instant rate updates. Zero hidden costs — everything was clear and fair.

    The dashboard was clean, and even a beginner could manage the trade on their own. Moreover,
    privacy protection felt reliable. They respected privacy, yet the process remained safe.

    The only downside is that customer service took some time.

    It didn’t ruin the experience, still faster replies would make the experience
    even more complete.
    On the bright side, the final outcome was great. Funds appeared in my TRC-20 wallet.
    Due to my great experience, I highly encourage other crypto traders
    to check out this platform and go through the full review about how
    to trade Bitcoin to USD TRC-20.
    Anyone interested in converting digital currencies securely, this platform is totally worth it.
    It supports Ethereum, USDT, BNB, Litecoin, and Solana.

    To conclude, the general result left me happy. This platform combines great rates and simplicity.
    I plan to trade here again every time I convert BTC or ETH.
