E-mail setup information for Outlook and Outlook Express (V8.5)

In order to send bulk e-mail, your e-mail configuration must be entered into PowerChurch Plus 8.5. Also, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) must support sending e-mail using SMTP mail access. While most ISP's support SMTP for sending email, some e-mail and ISP's do not use these settings and this feature will not be available. Through our testing we have found that AOL and Juno are two ISP's that aren't compatible with the way PowerChurch is setup to send bulk e-mail. If you're not sure that your e-mail is compatible, please contact your e-mail provider or ISP.

To find out your e-mail configuration in Outlook or Outlook Express, follow these steps:

1. Click on Start, Control Panel, and double click on the Mail icon.
2. Left click on the account you want to obtain information for and click on Properties.

   

3. Click on the Servers tab.
