How To: Add your email account to Outlook

You can setup a POP account in any email client such as Outlook or Thunderbird.  Following are the settings you need to use to do so:

  • Incoming Mail Server: pop.thirstypixel.com
  • Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.thirstypixel.com
  • Username: your email address (e.g. bob@mydomain.com)
  • Password: use the password you setup when creating your account

Authentication is required so on the E-mail Accounts page, click “More Setting” to open the “Internet E-mail Settings” window.  Click on the “Outgoing Server” tab and check the box for “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication”.  Click OK and finish the setup.

Here is a PDF with screenshots of the setup in Outlook.
