Setup AKO email on Outllok 2007

[Terrible T7]

Setting up Outllok 2007 to send & receive AKO email (Army email) does not
work when using the Outlook 2003 configuration nor does the army have any
instructions posted.

Any help?

it should be done the same way, just make sure the authentication and posts
are correct. If you upgraded, make a new profile and if you use a firewall,
make sure the correct version of outlook is allowed access.

it doesn't contain specific instructions for outlook 2007 but it has
instructions for several different email apps. Just put similar information
into the similar fields for outlook 2007
