If you run Mercury and Outlook on the same computer localhost (or 127.0.0.1) can be entered as incoming and outgoing server in Outlook. The Internet name for the system can not be localhost. If you have a domain of your own it could be for instance mail.mydomain.com, or if not, it should be the hostname of your computer. You can leave Identify myself as in MercuryE configuration empty (it should not be "admin").

If you have a domain and Mercury is assigned to handle mail for that domain you can create your own mailboxes in Mercury. Then your email address will be in the form mymailbox@mydomain.com. If not, use an email mailbox set up by your Internet provider, and download to Mercury with the MercuryD POP3 client.

Filling in Local domains in Core configuration is critical to getting the system working correctly. Please read that section of Mercury help carefully.

If you are connecting to the Internet from a home subscriber connection your Internet provider often blocks certain mail services. You may need to use the MercuryC relay client rather than MercuryE to deliver mail if port 25 is blocked. There is more information about this in Mercury help.

Hello,

I'm somehow making progress with connecting to Mercury from MS Outlook.
The problem is when I try to set up a new account in Outlook I don't know what is my email address! and I get the message: "553

We do not relay non-local mail, sorry."

I'm using localhost as my incoming and outgoing server, is this right?

In Mercury Core Module Configuration, the Internet name for the system should be "localhost"?

In MercuryE configuration Identify myself as "admin"? 

Any help would be gratly appreciated.

Thank you
