Setting up outlook for mail.ru

Probably everyone knows this mail service like mail.ru. And many people create mailboxes on this service.

But it’s immediately worth noting that many users today use more than one mailbox. And to use them together, it is best to use special email programs. One such program is the program Microsoft Outlook. To use any mailbox in this program, it must be configured. Let's configure Microsoft Outlook 2003/2007 for mail.ru. First of all, you will need to go into the email program itself. Next, search and select the item "Service" and in it click on the item "Account Settings".


Next, a window will open in which you will need to click on the item "Create". Then you will need to check the boxes "Exchange Server, POP3, IMAP or HTML" and press the button that says "Further".

After this, a new window will appear in which you need to check the box "Manually configure server settings or additional server types". After this, press again "Further".


Next, a window will appear in which we mark the item "Internet Email" and press again "Further". After this you need to enter your data in the section "User Information". Here you will need to enter your name and your email address. After that go to the menu "Server Information" and enter the following information in it. In field "Account Type" write IMAP in the field "Incoming mail server" - imap.mail.ru and in the field "Outgoing mail server" - smtp.mail.ru.

Next you need to enter the data in the menu "Login". Here you will need to specify the following: "User" - the name of your mailbox, "Password" - the password that is currently used in your mail.ru mailbox.


After this, you will need to update the list of folders in the program. After the update, the list will be similar to the one used in your mail.ru mailbox. In principle, this is all that needs to be done to set up a mail.ru mailbox in Microsoft Outlook.
