How to Configure Entourage on your Macintosh
  1. Launch Entourage

  2. Open the Edit Account dialog box - on the Tools menu, click Accounts - as per the image below:





  3. Click the Mail tab, and then click New.

    .


  4. At bottom of screen, click Configure account manually .




  5. Fill out the screen according to your domain and personal information, but follow the examples in the image below:

The Edit Account dialog box lets you enter settings for your mail account.

Account name  -  Any name for the account that you want. This name appears only in Entourage — if you have more than one mail account, it can help you distinguish one account from another.

Name   -  The name that you want to appear in messages you send from the account. This name lets recipients of your messages distinguish your messages from those they receive from other people. Depending on your preference, it might be your full name, only your first name, your initials, and so on - your call.

E-mail address   -  The address that people should use when sending messages to you. This is the Internet address of the POP mailbox or alias that you would like people to use when they reply to your emails.    An example of an e-mail address might be "me@mydomain.com".

Account ID   -  The user ID / login. This is a name that uniquely identifies you and your mailbox. This will be associated with your POP account. For your crestonehosting account ID this is the name of the POP account + the @ sign + your domain name, such as: "me@mydomain.com." This must be all lower case.

POP servers - "mydomain.com", (and obviously, you insert YOUR domain name and not "mydomain.com" - like we didn't really have to say that, but maybe we did).

Password   -  The password for the corresponding POP account - case sensitive.

SMTP server    -  The Internet address of the mail server that Entourage should connect to when sending your messages.   Crestone Creations / crestonehosting.net is most likely your server, so the SMTP server is "mydomain.com." And like above - insert your domain name in place of "mydomain.com" !

6.    * IMPORTANT !!! - you must now configure the "advanced sending options" by clicking on the button which says "Click here for advanced sending options"*

Check the box next to "SMTP server requires authentication". The radio button "Use same settings as receiving mail server" is the one you need to use.

7. Click ok, and you're done!

The information above describes the basic settings that you need to enter in order to send and receive messages from the account.
