  • I am trying to get email to work on my desktop PC using MS Outlook 2016. During set-up I used "smtp.centurylink.net" as the setting for outgoing mail. I get an error message that Outlook can not connect to it. Am I using the wrong name ? I know I have entered my username and password correctly since this email address works just fine on a Mac laptop. What do you suggest ? Thanks, Gary

  • Instructions seem to be old or incorrect. I started my desktop Outlook, clicked on File, then on Account Settings. There is no Email tab (step 2 above) so there is now New option and one can go no further using these instructions.
