How do I set up e-mail for Outlook in

                                 Microsoft Office 97?

Note: Outlook 97 is much like Outlook 2000, but the screens are named differently.

1.  Start Microsoft Outlook 97.

2. Click on the “Tools” menu and select “Services”.

3. The window will state: “The following information services are set up in this profile.”

4. If you do not see “Internet Mail” in the list in the white box, you will have to add it:
   a. Click on the Add button
   b. Select and add “Internet Mail”

5. Once “Internet Mail” is in the list, highlight it and click on the Properties button.

6. Click on the “Servers” tab.

7. Change your “Incoming Mail Server” to rrt.net (lower case)

8. Change your “Outgoing Mail Server” to rrt.net (lower case)

9. In the box for your account name, enter your user name. Do NOT use the “@rrt.net” ending! Make sure it is lower case

10. In the box for your password enter your password.

11. Click on the OK  button to save your settings.

12. Click on the OK button (if necessary) to close the services window.

13. The program will remind you that you need to re-start your Outlook program for it to use your new settings.
