How to set up outgoing mail server (SMTP) in Windows Mail

This description is based on Windows Mail. But the settings are similar to its precursor Outlook Express.

Choose the menu item ’Tools’ and then the sub item ’Accounts’:

Choose the tab ‘Mail’. Click on the account where you wish to use SMTP via our servers and click on ‘Properties’:

Choose the tab ‘Servers’.

In the field ’Outgoing mail (SMTP)’ you put mail.your-domain.com where your-domain.com is replaced by your real domain name.

Mark the checkbox by ’My server requires authentication’

Click on the button ’OK’:

The above mentioned settings assume that the chosen account also receives email via POP3 on your own domain.

Your Windows Mail is now set for sending your emails via your domain's SMTP server.
