A few days ago I needed to configure Microsoft Outlook 2013 with Post.lu mail. So I started looking for the configuration using my friend Google but strangely I did not find a useful setup page (Maybe my googling skills are not as good as I think they are). I was busy for quite some time to configure it so I decided to provide a small guide.
First of all open Outlook and select the “Add a new account”. In the opening screen, please choose “Manual setup or additional server types”
Enter your username and your e-mail address.
Choose account type POP3 and provide the URLs listed below:
POP3 server: pop.pt.lu
SMTP server: smtp.pt.lu
Enter the logon information and tick “Remember password”
Please use the "Identifiant" provided by post.lu.
In the new windows select the “Outgoing Server” tab and check the “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication”.
Select the Advanced Tab and set the POP3 to 995 and check the box “This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL))”.
Leave the SMTP to 25 but select “TLS” in “Use the following type of encrypted connections:”.
When done, Press “OK”.
Make sure everything works fine by pressing the “Test Account settings…” button:
The screen should look like this after a few moments:
By pressing next you finish the setup. Well done.
This kept me busy for: 30 minutes
