This tutorial shows you how to set up Microsoft Outlook 2003® to work with your e-mail account. This tutorial focuses on setting up Microsoft Outlook 2003, but these settings are similar in other versions of Microsoft Outlook. You can set up previous versions of Microsoft Outlook by using the settings in this tutorial.

To Set Up Your E-mail Account in Microsoft Outlook

1. In Microsoft Outlook, from the E-mail Accounts menu, select Tools.
   

   

2. On the E-mail Accounts wizard window, select Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
   
3. For your server type, select POP3 or IMAP, and then click Next.
4. On the Internet E-mail Settings (POP3/IMAP) window, enter your information as follows:

Your Name
Your first and last name.

E-mail Address
Your email address.

User Name
Your email address, again.

Password
Your email account password.

Incoming mail server (POP3)
POP, Pop.secureserver.net or IMAP, imap.secureserver.net.

Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
Smtpout.secureserver.net
Click More Settings.

NOTE: “smtpout.secureserver.net” is an SMTP relay server. In order to use this server to send e-mails, you must first activate SMTP relay on your e-mail account. Log on to your Manage Email Accounts page to set up SMTP relay. If you do not have SMTP relay set up and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) allows it, you can use the outgoing mail server for your Internet Service Provider. Contact your Internet Service Provider to get this setting.




6. On the Internet E-mail Settings window, go to the Outgoing Server tab.
7. Select My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.
8. If you did not change the SMTP relay section, select Use same settings as my incoming mail server. If you changed the user name and password in the SMTP relay section of your Manage Email Accounts page, select Log on using and enter the user name and password. The following example assumes you did not change your SMTP relay section in your Manage Email Accounts page.
   

   

9. Go to the Advanced tab, and then change the Outgoing server (SMTP) port to 80 or 3535.
10. Click OK.
    
11. Click Next.
12. Click Finish.

At this point you should have completed the setup of Gmail for email synchronization.

Did you know you can synchronize your Outlook 2010 email on multiple computers? Automatically? And without an expensive Exchange Server?

See how the brilliantly simple Easy-Email solution will simplify your life by watching the quick video at synchronize Outlook.

At the end of the article you will find references to more information which is relevant for working with Outlook 2010 and Easy-Email.

Important! If you have not done so already please read the article “Naughty Outlook”.

Important! Backup your emails before you start! Easy-Email does not accept responsibility for any data loss under any circumstance.

Modify existing accounts (POP)

If you already have email accounts setup in Outlook 2010 we need to ensure they leave new email in the mailbox on the mail server for one day.

Gmail is also downloading email from the same mailbox, so Outlook 2010 will have to leave the email on the mail server long enough for Gmail to get hold of a copy too. Gmail automatically checks your mailboxes for new mail once every hour. If a new email arrives in your mailbox and Outlook 2010 downloads and removes the email from the mailbox before Gmail gets to it you will not see that email in Gmail and it will not be synchronized with your other email clients.

This modification does not change the way your current email setup works.

Do the following for each Outlook 2010 account that downloads email from a mailbox:

Note! Click on the images to see a larger version.

• Go to File → Account Settings → Account Settings…
  

• Select your existing email account.
  Click Change.
  

• Click More settings…
  

• Go to the Advanced tab.
  Check Leave a copy of messages on the server.
  Check Remove from server after 14 days.
  Make sure emails are left on the server for a minimum of 1 day.
  1 day is more than sufficient for Gmail to pick up new emails.
  The default of 14 days is fine.
  Click OK.
  

• To close the account settings window again:
  Untick Test Account Settings by clicking the Next button.
  Click Next.
  Click Finish.
  Click Close.

Create a new email account in Outlook 2010 to access Gmail

Gmail will now pick up your email for you. This step tells Outlook to synchronize with Gmail so you can download copies of your emails.

Note! If you have more than one email address work with the email address you use most often in this section. For John Doe this is JohnDoe@pogo-card.com. Setting up multiple email addresses is explained in the Advanced guides.

Follow these steps:

• Start Outlook 2010.
  
• Click File → Add Account
  
• Enter the following information:
  For Your Name enter your name, for John that is John Doe.
  For E-mail Address enter your Gmail address, which for John is walletpcuser1@gmail.com.
  For Password enter your Gmail password twice.
  Click Next.
  
• Wait while Outlook searches for your account settings.
  This can take a couple of minutes.
  
• Tick Manually configure server settings.
  Click Next.
  
• Change the email address to the email address you wish to synchronize. In out case this is JohnDoe@pogo-card.com.
  
• On the general tab enter a descriptive name for the mail account.
  For John we enter My Mail (IMAP).
  
• Click on the Sent Items tab.
  Select Do not save copies of sent items.
  Gmail automatically does this for us now.
  Click OK.
  
• Click Finish.
  
• Outlook tests your account settings.
  Click Close.
  
• Your mail is synchronized with Gmail.
  This could take some time depending on how many emails you have.
  You can Delete the test email from Outlook.
  
• Select the [Gmail] → Sent Mail folder.
  The sent folder view includes From instead of To.
  What you want to see here is who you sent emails to.
  
• Click on View → Change View → Save Current View As a New View
  
• Enter My Sent View as the name of the view.
  Click OK.
  
• Click View Settings.
  
• Click Columns…
  
• Select the Sent and To fields.
  Tip! Hold down the Ctrl key when you click on the second field to select both fields at the same time.
  Click Add.
  
• Move the fields so To is located below From and Sent is below Received.
  
• Select the From and Received fields.
  Click Remove.
  Then click OK.
  
• Click OK.
  
• Now we can see who we sent our emails to.
  

Set the Gmail account as the default email account

When we send email we want the new Gmail account to be the default acccount.

• Go to File → Account Settings → Account Settings..
  
• Select the My Mail (IMAP) account.
  Click Set as Default.
  Click Close.
  
  

Enable mail notifications

Outlook does not automatically notify you when new mail arrives in an IMAP account.

To make this happen follow the instructions in this article.

Change the Outlook startup folder

You can change the default startup folder for Outlook.

To make this happen follow the instructions in this article.

Known issues

• Draft emails are stored in the local folder on the computer – not the Gmail drafts folder. This is due to a limitation in Outlook. This means you cannot start an email in another client and finish it in Outlook or vice versa.
• Outlook 2010 always creates a Junk E-mail folder.
  This folder will also appear in Gmail.
  
• The first time Outlook 2010 synchronizes with Gmail it can take a long time – please be patient.

Site goals

The most important question is what would be counted as a success for the website and therefore the goals. Unless you thoroughly understand this part, the efforts you put into design and build could end up being wasted.

The normal goals for a website are:

• Raise awareness for the company (eg. SEO rankings, blogs, social networking)
• Increase sales
• Bring in new business
• Promote a product or event

… the bottom line is usually make more money for the client

When the items above have been discussed you can then start thinking the best way to achieve those goals.

The project process

Developing a website can take different stages with the most common listed below:

1. 1. Budget discussions
2. 2. Formulating the Brief
3. 3. Preparation
4. 4. Creativity
5. 5. Beta development and testing
6. 6. On-going Support

Stage 1 – Budget discussions

Often the most difficult part of the project is working out the budget that will give good value-for-money. Spending less in the early stages can often be a false economy when you wish to expand the site at a later date.

Stage 2 – Formulating the brief

The initial processes in designing a successful website are the most important and involve the discernment of what you perceive are your business aspirations. Firstly you should seek to amass information to formulate the brief. This will involve a firm understanding of how your website can assist with your business aims. It is vital that Zoo Design begin by asking the relevant questions in order to assist us to understand your requirements for the website.

There are certain things to take into account as discussed in stage 1:

• Purpose of your site
• Aims for the site you are creating
• Target audience e.g. the people you wish to encourage to visit the website

Stage 3 – Preparation

Once sufficient information has been assimilated, it now falls to piece together your ideas for your website. A site map will now be developed. In this initial planning stage we will develop a site-structured document and we will also assist you in deciding the technology that should be implemented which could include components like ecommerce, flash and interactive forms.

Stage 4 – Creativity

From the information collected, it’s now time to determine the style and texture of your site. Your target audience are crucial factors and may differ in their requirements; from young people, to business-to-business as well as companies seeking to create their own corporate identity. We will create one or more designs for your prospective website. Typically, these would feature a flat visual of how the final design could appear. From approved visual designs we will develop several HTML pages on a hidden server for clients to view. At all stages you will have the opportunity to comment on the ongoing project development.

Stage 5 – Development

From approval at HTML stage creativity, we will then begin development work; this will include:

• Creative elements
• Navigation
• Functional style
• Interactive content
• Contact forms
• E-commerce shopping carts
• Check validation for XHTML / CSS code
• Accessibilty

Stage 6 – Beta testing and delivery

As part of the Beta testing process we will ensure that the functionality of forms, scripts, cross-browser checking, compatibility issues and W3 compliance standards. Upon approval the site will be uploaded to the web hosting provider and once again tested for interaction and communications requirements.
*might need to add CMS Man. system

Stage 7 – Ongoing Support

Development of the site should be an ongoing process. This should include SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and SES (Site Engineering Submission) which will assist in providing site visitors and tracking them through the website. This information can be used to modify and update the site to help improve visitor traffic.
How to select the correct design company for your needs
It may be tempting to use a cheap solution. There are many unprofessional companies in the marketplace; they offer what often turns out to be a substandard service.

Have some home movies that you want the world to see? Want to market a product? Are you an unabashed exhibitionist? YouTube is your place.

The instructions below are a guide to how to generate the right type of video and upload to YouTube. There is a lot more that can be done to help to get more feedback from your video and marketing, but can not be covered in this short article.

To get yourself started you will need a device for creating the video, a means for transferring to YouTube and a YouTube account.

The simple steps to getting your video onto YouTube:

• Come up with an idea… This could be anything really! Just making sure its entertaining and interesting. Try to aim for a particular audience. Make sure you don’t violate the Youtube Terms of Service. Also it can’t be more than 15 minutes long unless you are a partner with Youtube.
• Make a movie using a digital camera, web cam, or cell phone. An old VHS will only work if you transfer it to a digital file-you’ll need a digital converter to plug an older camcorder into the computer. You can upload a YouTube movie directly from a phone if you set up a Mobile Profile in YouTube. With a high speed connection, it should generally take a few minutes, give or take.
• Edit your movie. Programs such as Mac’s iMovie or Windows’ MovieMaker are both good-add titles, effects, cut out a bad take, etc.
• Resize the video so it looks best in YouTube. The site will accept QuickTime .MOV, Windows .AVI, or .MPG files at different resolution.We have found the following settings give the best results.
  Video Format: H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 preferred
  Aspect Ratio: Native aspect ratio without letterboxing (examples: 4:3, 16:9)
  Resolution: 640×360 (16:9 – will fill standard YouTube video play area) or 480×360 (4:3- will leave black areas right and left)
  Audio Format: MP3 or AAC preferred
  Frames per second: 30
  Maximum length: 10 minutes (we recommend 2-3 minutes)
  Maximum file size: 1 GB
• Create a YouTube account or Log in to your existing account. Click on Upload Videos in the upper right corner of the home page. It will take time, after it uploads it has to go through tests to check for screamers and whatnot. Once it’s done with that, congratulate yourself on your first YouTube video!
• Create an appropriate title, description, tags, category, and set language. The more information the better to help people find the video.
• Make sure your video is YouTube appropriate. You can not upload videos that contain anything that would be considered offensive in the modern world such as sexually explicit content, graphic violence, copyrighted material, etc.
• Advertise! Post video responses and comments on other popular YouTube videos.

Here is an example of an uploaded YouTube video by Zoo Design for Take Cover Skin System:

General comment:
Try not to make the video too long, because this just means that you’ll have less ratings and comments. This also means it will take much longer to upload and process. *If it is an video log, be sure to make it interesting, unless it’s just for family/friends. If it’s public, it will most likely get bad ratings and comments if it’s boring, or if it’s about something people don’t find interesting. *Put tags that are related to the video and be sure to put in all the words to help people find your video, or you will not get very much views. *Make sure you choose a compatible video format. Pay a visit to the YouTube help center to see what formats are compatible.

There are quite a few details or aspects that you must pay careful attention to in order to have a continuously profitable business, so it isn’t exactly easy to keep yourself focused on the right thing. As a small business owner you will wear a lot of different hats, and this is needed, but the key is to wear the correct hat that proper time. This means that you need to always be aware of what you are spending your time on and asking yourself if that is the best use of this precious commodity at this time.

From advertising and promotion tactics, to the inner structure of your business and employee/managerial training and preparation, every decision or plan you make will ultimately determine how your business will turn out. By familiarizing yourself with all of the thought that goes into running your business successfully, you will be much less likely to make any crucial mistakes and the state of your business will almost always improve.

The first thing that you need to work on in a business is it’s structure and base. If your employees are not all on the “same page” so to speak, failure will be something that will only take a matter of time. Not only do you have to educate your employees as to how they should behave and what decisions they should make, you also must teach them exactly why they are supposed to behave in such a way. By giving your employees and managerial staff insight into the reasoning behind your decision making, you create a stronger bond and increase the chances of them doing good by your business.

After years of managing people I have come to the conclusion that people really do want to do a good job most of the time. They just don’t know what to do. If you can train them to do the right thing that is the first step. But, more importantly, by explaining the rationale behind actions they will learn what needs to be done in each new situation. This becomes very powerful for your organization as it grows. You just can not train for every little possibility. Instead, teach them how to make the right decisions on their own.

You employees can also be a big benefit when it comes to keeping you enterprise running smoothly and growing. They are the ones who are in the trenches and they often times have great ideas for improvement. Don’t hesitate to ask the opinion of these experts as they deal with the situations every day. If you are unsure about a particular market, or seem to be having problems in your current situation, your employees and managers are always the best place to start.

Advertisement or marketing of some sort is necessary regardless of what services or products you provide. Without informing your potential customer base of what you currently offer, you will have to rely solely on your location to bring you customers. Depending on where you are currently located and what services you offer, the type of advertisement that will be most effective can vary quite a bit. If you offer food or something that can be found in many places, directly advertising to surrounding residential and commercial customers will be most effective because of your current location.

If your services or products are rare or hard to come across, or they are something that can easily be shipped, then using advertisement techniques of a larger scale will undoubtedly be the best bet for you. If you don’t have much money to put towards your marketing campaign, consider making small investments such as newspaper ads or even hiring people to pass out flyers for local businesses and if you are marketing goods or services that can be used everywhere, then spend as much time as possible learning Online Business techniques. The Internet is the most important marketing tool that has ever been found and the business opportunities it provides are absolutely endless.

As an owner of any business, you have to be able to pay attention to every aspect of your store or venue all at once. Neglecting any single area of your service will often times spell the demise of many other areas that might not have even seemed to relate. Keep an eye out for any problems that might arise early and eliminate them as soon as possible – letting a small issue go unnoticed for any amount of time can create a much larger problem that you will regret for many years to come.

The biggest failure in small business owners is not realizing that they are no longer a hands on worker and now need to devote their time to actually running the business. This is two different skill sets. If you start a business and then do the work yourself, like a mechanic who opens an auto repair shop and then does all the repairs, then you have only bought yourself a job. You will have no chance of scaling that business up because you will have to do all the work. Instead, you need to think like a manager and develop employees who can do the hands on tasks so you can actually run the business.
