Here we will set up Outlook 2007 to send and receive our KKoncepts email account.  We'll use an imaginary user named "K. Koncepts" who has the email address. "k.koncepts@kkoncepts.net".  Anywhere you see these names, you should, of course, use your own name and email address.

To set up your account, open Outlook, click on the "Tools" menu, and then select the  “Accounts settings" item.

Then in the window that appears, select the option "NEW" and a new window will appear. 

If you want to create a POP3 or IMAP account, then choose the default option and press the "Next" button.

In the next window, enter your name and your email address in the two  fields in the"User Information" section.  This is what others will see as the "From" address when they receive emails from you.

Then enter your email username and email password in the two fields in the "Logon Information" section.  If your email address is "@kkoncepts.net", then your User Name is your email address without the "@kkoncepts.net".  So in our example, where our email address is "k.koncepts@kkoncepts.net", then we enter simply "k.koncepts" as our user name.

If your email address ends in anything other than "@kkoncepts.net", however, then enter your full email address as your user name.  So if we were setting up an account for the address "k.koncepts@bigburger.com", then we would enter that full email address as our user name.

Then enter "smail.kkoncepts.net" into both the "Incoming" and "Outgoing" server fields in the "Server Information" section.

Now click the "More Settings ..." button.

This will bring up the "Internet E-mail Settings" window.  Click on the tab labeled "Outgoing Server".

Check the box at the top which says "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication."  Make sure the option labeled "Use the same settings as my incoming mail server" is selected as well.

Then click on the "Advanced" tab.

Near the top, under "Incoming Server" check the box which says "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)".  If this is a POP3 account, then the port should change automatically to "995".  If it doesn't change automatically, then manually change it to "995".

If this is an IMAP account, then when you check the box to require a secure connection, the port should change to "993".  If it does not change automatically, manually change it to "993".

For either type of account, under "Outgoing Server" check the box which says  "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)".  Then manually change the port to be "465".  (It will probably NOT change automatically, so make sure you change it manually or you will not be able to send mail.)

Finally click the "OK" button to close this window.

Now we're back to the original "E-mail Accounts" setup window.  Click the "Next" button to continue. Click on the “Test connection” button.

Finally click the "Finish" button and your KKoncepts email account is set up and ready to go.

If you have created a POP account, you're done.  But if you created an IMAP account you may want to make the following change to your account.
By default, all the folders in your account show up as children of your INBOX.

If you'd rather they were displayed all at the same level, then follow these instructions.  You will have to use IMAP.  You will have to delete the existing account (such as POP3) , if it exists. First select the "Tools" menu and then the "Account Settings..." item.

Then choose the "New" item and click the "Next" button. The “Auto Account Setup “ window will appear.

Click to “Manually configure server settings or additional server types”

Select “Internet E-Mail” and click “Next”

This brings up the "Internet E-mail Settings" box that we saw previously.  Fill in the fields like we did before. Please note the “Account Type”
Click the drop down for “Account Type” and select IMAP.

Click the “More Settings…”

Check the address under the “General” tab.

Click on the “Outgoing Server”tab. Check the box next to“My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication”.

Click on the "Advanced" tab. Enter the port numbers for IMAP. For “Incoming server (IMAP):” enter 993. For “Outgoing server (SMTP):” enter 465.
For encryption for Incoming and Outgoing select “SSL” by using the drop-downs.

Click “OK”.
Click “Test Connection”to test the setup.
Click “Next” to finish the setup.

Now you'll see that all your folders line up at that same level as the INBOX.
