# Outlook 2007

These instructions will walk you through how to add an SMTP server to an existing Outlook setup, but you can also add these settings at the account creation stage.

Click **Tools** and then select **Account Settings**.

The 'Account Settings' window appears. Select the account you receive email through and click **Change**.

The following 'Change email Account' window appears. This setting (in the red rectangle below) needs to be set for our SMTP address.

After you are finished, click **More Settings**. The following 'Internet email Settings' window appears. Click **Outgoing Server** and input the settings shown (username and API key are your SendGrid credentials).

> \[!NOTE]
>
> Your SendGrid username may not necessarily be an email address. If your SendGrid username is example\_user, enter example\_user in the User Name field, not [example\_user@sendgrid.com](mailto:example_user@sendgrid.com).

Next, click **Advanced** and enter the information as shown below. (Keep in mind you can also use port 25 with no security or 587 with TLS security).
