5. In the “Your name” field you should enter your own name as you would like it to appear on the messages you send.
You need to enter your e-mail address username@clari.net.au in the “E-mail Address” field.
For incoming and outgoing mail servers you should use pigeon.clari.net.au
Enter your email address (eg username@clari.net.au) in the “User Name” field. In the “Password” field you need to enter the current password for this particular mailbox.
Leave the “Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)” option unchecked.
You can leave the “Test Account Settings by clicking the Next button” option checked, in order to easily verify if your configuration is done correctly.
The “Deliver new messages to” option allows you to specify if you want the new account to have a new Outlook data file (the default option) or if you prefer to use an existing data file. The second option is useful if you want to receive the messages of multiple pop accounts into a single Outlook folder. If you are unsure, use the default selection.

7. Click on the “Advanced” tab.

Mark the “This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)” option. The incoming server port will be automatically changed to 995.

Set the “Outgoing server (SMTP)” port to 587.

Specify “TLS” at the “Use the following type of encrypted connection” setting.

Sometimes Port 587 with TLS does not work.  If that happens, try using port 465 using SSL.

Make your selections under the “Delivery” section on how to treat the messages on the server after they are downloaded on your computer.

If you are using a tablet or smartphone on this account also, you should leave a copy of messages on the server for at least 5 days.
