Open up Outlook 2007 and let’s begin the walk through.

11. Once you have entered all the requirements Click Test Account Settings. This will try and connect to your email account using the details you provided which will hopefully be successful . In the case that it’s please check everything that you entered is correct as this is the most common reason for failure.
