This article covers basic Email setup for Apple Mail and Outlook.

Please note: The following instructions include a fake web site called 'your-domain.com' and a fake user called 'user.' You need to substitute your actual web address and user name where it  says 'your-domain.com' and 'user.' For example, if your name was Bill Smith who owns the domain name www.cheese.com, you would replace 'user' with 'billsmith' and 'your-domain.com' with 'cheese.com.' Your email address would be billsmith@cheese.com.
