The email address you created can be used in any email program. Since Outlook is a very commonly used email program and I use it myself, that's what these instructions will be for. If you use a different program you can probably learn enough here to set up your email address in that program too. I'm using Outlook 2007 in these instructions. Any other version will be similar but not exactly the same.
Step 1: Open Outlook and go to Tools > Account Settings
Step 2: On the Email tab, click New …
Step 3: Choose Email Service. Select the top option and click Next.
Step 4: Add New Email Account Don't fill anything in. Check the box near the bottom for "Manually select server settings or additional server types" and click Next.
Step 5: Choose Email Service. Select the top option and click Next.
Step 6: Internet Email Settings
Your name: Type your name as you would like it to appear when people get an email from you. Email address: Enter your whole email address. In this example I'm using bonnie@howtostartawebsite-forbeginners.com Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing mail server (SMTP): Type "mail" followed by your domain name. In this example I'm using mail.howtostartawebsite-forbeginners.com Username: Enter your whole email address. Password: Enter your password When you're finished with all of that, click the "More Settings …" button.
Step 7: More Settings Click the "Outgoing Server" tab. Check the box that says "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication." Click the OK button.
Step 8: Now you're back at the previous screen:
Click the button that says "Test Account Settings …" This will test all of your settings. Upon success you'll get a screen that looks like this:
On the "Test Account Settings" screen, click Close. On the leftover screen (titled Add Email Account), click Next. That will take you to this:
Click Finish. You're done! You can now send and receive emails in Outlook. Next: Step 6 >>
