- Then set your Incoming and Outgoing mail servers to your own domain name adding the mail. prefix. So both your incoming and outgoing servers should be mail.mydomain.com.au (of course, substitute your actual domain name for mydomain.com.au).
Make sure the Port settings etc are exactly as shown below. DO NOT check "Require login using Secure Password Authentication"
Click [Next]

If everything was entered correctly you should receive the message:
"Account Successfully Added"Uncheck the "setup Outlook on my mobile phone too" (unless you really want to do this - we have no instructions!" and click [Done]
