Your email address is username@yourdomain.com

Click Next to move on to the next step in the wizard:

Click Next to move on to the fourth dialog box of the wizard:

Checking the box next to Remember password is optional, but make sure the box next to Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) is unchecked.

Click Next to bring up the final dialog box of the wizard:

Click Finish to close the wizard and the following window should come back up:

Make sure the account you just set up is highlighted, click the button for Set as Default, and then click the button for Properties. The following window comes up:

The Mail Account name needs only to be a name by which you will recognize the account (e.g. My Deep Sky Account)

Click on the Servers tab:

Verify that the information is correct, check the box next to My server requires authentication, and click on the Settings... button. The following dialog box pops up:

Select the radio button next to Log on using and fill in the following information:

Account name	Your account name is username%yourdomain.com

Again, the option to Remember password is optional, but the box for Log on using Secure Password Authentication must be unchecked.

Click OK to save and exit this dialog box and to return to the mail Properties dialog box. Click OK to save these settings.

You can now send and receive email with your Deep Sky account.
