For Microsoft Outlook 2010
Manually create a new account in Microsoft Outlook 2010.
In Microsoft Outlook 2010, you can manage multiple email accounts and calendars.
Step 1
Open Microsoft Outlook 2010.
Step 2
Click on File and select the Add account button under the Information menu item.
Step 3
Select that you want to create a new account and check the box to manually configure server settings or additional server types.
Step 4
Click on Internet email and then on Next.
Step 5
Enter the user, server and logon information.
Select the account type: POP3 or IMAP (Recommended). Why is this choice particularly important? If you want to read and receive emails on more than one device, set up the IMAP account type. If you only manage your emails on one device, POP3 may work for you. However, POP3 by default downloads messages to your device and deletes them from the server, which can make email recovery difficult (if possible at all) if messages are accidentally deleted or something happens to that device.
To send emails from this new account, click More settings.
