To setup Entourage in Mac (Classic and OS X) to send and receive POP e-mail, follow these instructions. These instruction will walk you through setting up a new mail account using the Account Setup Assistant. The setup differences between Classic and OS X are mainly cosmetic. The steps involved in setting up an account are the same.
You will need the following information in order to setup an account.
E-mail Address: <yourEmail>
Account ID: <yourEmail>
Password:
Incoming mail (POP, IMAP) Server: <yourIncomingServer>
Outgoing mail (SMTP) Server: <yourOutgoingServer>
You can look up the settings for your e-mail here:
