Configure SMTP authorization

Last modified: Thursday June 19th, 2025

Just in case, check your internet settings. Pay attention to the field “Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)”.

  1. Launch Microsoft Outlook. If pop-up windows appear with various questions, close them.
  2. Open the “File” menu and select “Account settings”.
  3. In the window that opens, you’ll see previously configured email accounts. If there are accounts you no longer need, remove them using the “Remove” button. To add a new account, click the “New” button.
  4. A new window will open. Check the box for “Manually configure server settings or additional server types” and click “Next”.
  5. Select “Internet E-mail” and click “Next” to continue.
  6. In the window that opens, fill in the fields as follows:
    • In the “Your Name” field, enter your name. This will be shown to the recipient.
    • In the “E-mail address” field, enter your email address.
    • From the “Account type” dropdown, select POP3.
    • In the “Incoming mail server” field, enter the address based on your mail service. Check which address you should use.
    • In the “Outgoing mail server (SMTP)” field, enter the address provided by your internet service provider. Check which address you should use.
    • Leave the box “Remember password” checked if you want the program to remember your password at launch. If not, uncheck it.
    • Check “Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)” only if you want to log in with an encrypted password. Note: many mail servers don’t support encrypted login—it’s often better to leave this unchecked.
  7. If you want Microsoft Outlook to keep a copy of your emails on the server, open “More Settings”. In the “Internet E-mail Settings” window, select the “Advanced” tab and adjust:
    • Check “Leave a copy of messages on server” if you want copies saved.
    • Check “Remove from server after” and specify the number of days (default is 10) to automatically delete downloaded emails from the server.
    • Check “Remove from server when deleted from ‘Deleted Items'” to delete emails from the server when they’re deleted from Outlook.
  8. Click “OK” to confirm settings.
  9. Click “Next” to continue.
  10. Click “Finish” to complete setup.
  11. Your configured account will be displayed. Click “Close” to exit the settings window.
  12. Your email account is now set up. Click “Send/Receive” to receive emails.
