While we do provide email setup support articles, our Technical Support team are unable to provide support for third party email software. We recommend contacting the software vendor for troubleshooting issues with these applications. Click here for Microsoft Office Support. Prior to setting up email on your device(s) you will need Australian Web Experts to set up the email accounts you require. The configuration information will be available via webmail in the welcome email we send out once your mailbox is configured. With these details and the guide we provide below you should be able to complete setup on your device. PLEASE NOTE: If you are operating on a version of Windows prior to Windows 10 then you may have issues connecting to our newer servers which are strictly PCI compliant. Your mail software must be able to connect securely over TLS1.1 or (preferably) TLS1.2. There are patches you can apply to older versions of Windows to become compliant however we cannot help you make these changes. You will need to seek advice from a trained IT technician. Alternatively you can update to Windows 10 if comfortable in doing so. 1. Open Outlook and click File at the top left. 2. Click on Account Settings to reveal the dropdown menu, then Account Settings. 3. You should be presented with the Account Settings page. Click New. 4. Select the Manual setup or additional server types option. This allows us to manually enter in the server information. 5. Choose POP or IMAP (the third option) when it prompts you for the Service. 6.
