Adding an E-Mail Account in Entourage 2004

This document contains instructions for using Entourage on Mac OS X to access AT&T Worldnet e-mail through DSL or another ISP.

To send e-mail, you will first need to configure SSL Enabler.

To install and configure SSL Enabler:

1. Download the software from Apple.
2. Mount the disk image and copy SSL Enabler to your Applications folder. To proceed, you must have Administrator access to your computer.
3. Launch SSL Enabler.
4. Click the Add button.
   
5. In the first row:
   1. In the Local Port field, enter 25
   2. In the Remote Server IP field, enter imailhost.worldnet.att.net
   3. In the Remote Port field, enter 465
   
6. Click the Save button and quit SSL enabler. The SSL enabler application does not need to be running each time for this to work.

You now need to configure Entourage 2004 to use SSL Enabler.

   5. In the Outgoing Mail Server field, enter 127.0.0.1
   6. Check the Save Password in Mac OS X Keychain option if you do not want to enter your password each time you get mail.
   Click the right arrow. All other settings in this window should be correct.
