To use Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to send & receive mail from your BGA email account, please follow these directions:
Close Outlook 2007 if it's open.
In Control Panel, click Mail.
In Windows XP
Click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Mail. (In Classic view,
double-click Mail.)
In the Mail Setup dialog box, click Show Profiles > Add.
Type a name for the profile, such as "BGA" and then click OK.
When the Add New E-Mail Account dialog box opens, enter your name, e-mail
address, and password in the appropriate fields, and then click Next.
Outlook 2007 will display a message that asks you to allow a Web site to
automatically set up your account. The program runs auto-setup periodically. If
you don't want to see this message every time auto-setup runs, select Don't ask
me about this website again, and then click Allow.
Outlook 2007 will automatically set up the account. You'll be asked for your
user name and password before Outlook 2007 can connect to your account. Make
sure you enter your full e-mail address (for example, sallyjones12@students.battlegroundacademy.org)
as your user name. You may be prompted to enter your user name and password
several times before you connect.
That's it, you are done!
What else do I need to know?
Before you can connect to your e-mail for the first time with Outlook 2007, you
need to complete your account registration with Windows Live. To do this, sign
in to your account by browsing to https://outlook.com, click Sign in, and then
enter your user name and password to access your e-mail account. When your
Windows Live account registration is complete, sign out.
