Configuring Outlook 2003 for your Coastal Email account
Your email account, like many email accounts available on the Internet,
is accessible via an email application. By configuring an email application,
such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, you can check, send, and/or update your email without having to
access WebMail. This allows faster and more reliable
access to your email as well as more filtering options and organizational capabilities. Below
are step by step instructions on configuring Outlook 2003 for your email account.
These steps will vary depending on your email application, but the configurations neccessary for you to access
your email account will stay the same.
If you have any issues setting up your email application please call the
Tech Support Center
at (843)349-2220.
