MORE INFORMATION
There are three different ways to set up Outlook depending on how you
intend to use the program. They are Corporate or Workgroup, Internet Mail
Only, and No E-mail.
Corporate or Workgroup
Corporate or Workgroup provides full MAPI (Messaging Application
Programming Interface) compliance. This allows connection to any MAPI
compliant mail server.
It also uses the functions of Windows messaging. To add services to
Outlook, click Services on the Tools menu. This is the same as double-
clicking the Mail icon in Control Panel.
Available Corporate or Workgroup Services:
- Internet E-mail

Internet Mail Only
Internet Mail Only provides services to connect to multiple Internet
service providers (ISP) and their POP3, SMTP, or IMAP mail servers. In
addition, you can connect to Internet-based directory services, some of
which are listed below.
To modify or add any of these services, on the Tools menu, click Accounts
to see a list of current e-mail, IMAP, and directory services.
Accounts (Multiple Internet Accounts):
Contact your ISP for mail server information for your account, including
incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail server names, password, and
account name. If you have multiple accounts, you must give each mail
account its own name.

Directories):
