How to configure Outlook to work with
AmosConnect
Version 1.1-RvG
This guide describes how to configure Outlook to work with AmosConnect. If you need
any assistance, please contact Xantic Customer Services using the methods shown
below.
You need the following to configure Outlook with AmosConnect:
• We strongly advise that Windows 2000/XP is updated with the latest patches and
service packs available.
• A fully working AmosConnect client with the Internet Mail server License module
installed
• AmosConnect software version at least 5.2.1 or higher
• A working network configuration
• Outlook installed and configured for use
This document will cover two parts.
• Configuration of the AmosConnect software
• Configuration of Microsoft Outlook
Using Outlook express or Microsoft Outlook as mail front end on an AmosConnect
client system is possible but in practice has many disadvantages as many premium
features of the AmosConnect mail system are lost to the user:

Configuration of Microsoft Outlook
This part describes the configuration of Microsoft Outlook we assume that Outlook is already
installed on the client system. In this setup we use the mailbox ADMIN with password ADMIN
(witch implies to a empty password when logging into the AmosConnect client software). The
email address that we use is masterofvessel@vessel.amosconnect.com. We assume that the
AmosConnect software and Outlook are installed on the same machine and that there is a
working networking configuration in that case we use the internal TCP/IP address 127.0.0.1.
1)
In the Microsoft Outlook software go to Tools -> Services and press add
2)
At the screen “Add Service to profile” select Internet E-mail and press OK
3)
In the screen “Mail account properties” we fill in all the details of the mailbox
4)
Press the Servers tab and fill in the details as shown in the picture below*
*The POP3 and SMTP server can be different if you did not installed both programs on
the same computer or using a client server setup. The account name and password
equals to the account name and password that you use to login to the AmosConnect
client.
5)
Leave all the Settings of Outgoing mail server as default.
6)
Select the Connection tab and select the option “Connect using my local area network
(LAN)” all other settings should be left as default.
7)
The configuration of Outlook is completed and you can now send and receive email
with Outlook, however to make a dial-in or TCP connection to the AmosConnect Hub
via Inmarsat you still need to use the AmosConnect Client software.
