What are the basic security settings for Outlook?

Your Server: using

Basic Security users may use TLS to encrypt POP,IMAP, and SMTP authentication. The settings are the same for both Macintosh and PC clones.

These instructions are for Outlook 2003. Click here for Outlook 2007 and 2010 instructions. Other versions of Outlook are not supported for IMAP/POP with Zimbra.

(Enhanced security using Kerberos is not available for Outlook users. Please use Mozilla Thunderbird instead.)

Accounts can be configured in E-mail Accounts under the Tools menu.

Prerequisite

Outlook 2003 Users will require the hotfix 839629 from Microsoft to be installed in order to connect to the SMTP server correctly using TLS. Please ask your LSP to provide you with this.
