Hi Ged,
Thanks for the comment – I know what it’s like to find the perfect solution on the web, so whenever possible, I post ones I’ve found. Glad it helped! Outlook and the various ISP’s can be tricky.

Thank you for taking the time to help the anonymous masses. Your information about changing ports for SMPT allowed me to send a VERY important email.
This is much appreciated.

This is fantastic, Jill. Thanks for putting it together. I’m a Mac user, so it’s always been tricky helping my clients and friends who use Outlook. Your tutorial is clear, concise, and accurate.

I didn’t know Dreamhost even offered POP3. Thanks for the tip.

Sorry, I’m Jill, the author. Cristina, the other woman who said her username/password is not my client – I have no idea whether she is a DreamHost customers or not, and clearly, if she’s getting a username/password error, there’s something else amiss. Again, I’ve done this literally dozens of times and it’s worked, and if you have really specific suggestions as to how to improve, I’m happy to modify once I verify they indeed work. But I’ve never even modified port settings for DreamHost/Outlook – never had to.

Hi Cristina,
Please keep in mind, this is a blog, not a tech support service – and so I recommend you contact your website hosting company for this specific info.

Hi,

I am not able to set up the email outlook account for my website. It is not recognizing my user name/password. I also don’t know if I have the right port numbers 995 and 465.

Please let me know how to reset my password/user name.
Thanks

Cristina

Hi Linda,
Try downloading FireFTP and following instructions here:
http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/10/15/how-to-use-ftp-from-within-firefox/

There are also instructions here for how to add a WordPress Plugin:
http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2007/02/11/how-to-install-configure-and-use-wordpress-plugins/

Since most of my clients don’t use FTP, I didn’t want to write a post that would encourage them to FTP into their websites and inadvertently do some damage.

I love your Tutorials Jill…even when they don’t really apply to me!

Could you be persuaded to write one on http://FTP…specifically FileZilla if you are familiar with it? It still “throws” me…

In 5 to 10 easy steps, I would like to be able to add plug-ins and other things (like “Share This”) to my WordPress blog without having to call out to my very busy Techie friends for help!

I am talking “the whole nine yards” here…start to finish…
Starting with, “ok, so you have found this WP plug-in you want on your WP blog”….all the way to …”and there it is…on your WP blog.”

The more elementary, the better…for us more severely “techno-challenged” types!

Thanks a million Jill!
