Configuring Entourage 2001 to check Email



The following are instructions for setting up Entourage 2001 (Office 2001 Macintosh) for e-mail.

(This assumes you are setting it up for the first time. If you need to edit an existing account, startup Entourage, go to the "Tools" menu and select "Accounts.")
  1. Startup Entourage. It will ask you if you would like to set it as the default email program. Choose yes if you do.
  2. The Setup Assistant will launch and ask you to enter your first and last name. Do so, then click the right arrow.
  3. Enter your Home Address/Phone number, then click the right arrow.
  4. Enter your Work Address/Phone number, then click the right arrow.
  5. If you would like to import any information into Entourage, choose that option, then click the right arrow. We'll assume Entourage imports nothing.
  6. Enter your First and Last name as you would like it to appear in the "From" line of your email messages, then click the right arrow.
  7. Choose "I already have an email address that I'd like to use," then enter your OSU email address and click the right arrow.
  8. Set the following options:
    My Incoming mail server is a "POP" server
    Incoming mail server: pop.service.ohio-state.edu
    Outgoing mail server***: smtp.service.ohio-state.edu (or smtp.resnet.ohio-state.edu if you connect from the dorms)
    Then click the right arrow.

    ***NOTE: If you do not connect to the internet through OSU, you will need to use your ISP's outgoing mail server. See the following page for details: http://oit.osu.edu/networking/openrelay/

  9. Enter your username for "Account ID" (lastname.# ex: smith.9999), enter your password and click "Save Password" if you would like Entourage to save it, then click the right arrow.
  10. Name your acount (ex: John Smith's OSU email), then click "Finish."
To set up another account that keeps email and other settings separate from each other, go to the "File" menu, select "Switch Identity..." then click the "Switch" button (make sure you have any work saved before doing this). In the window that comes up, click the "New..." button. Name the new Identity (ex: Mary Smith's OSU email) and click "OK." You can follow the above steps again to setup the new Identity/account. To switch between Identities that are setup in Entourage, go to the "File" menu", selecting "Switch Identity...", choosing an Identity, and clicking "OK." You can also rename and delete Identities from this window.
