Steps to receive emails with Outlook 2007:

Download Outlook 2007 if you have not done so already. You can download the trial version or the full version from the official Microsoft website.
Once downloaded, you can install it by following the on-screen instructions. That won’t be much complicated as everything will be provided to you on the screen.
Once the software is installed, launch it and click on the "Tools" tab at the top left, then "Accounts".
A window appears, click on the "new" button.
A new window appears, check the box labelled as "Manually configure server settings or additional server types" followed by clicking‘Next’.
Select the "Internet Mail" button and click Next. A new window appears, and Outlook asks you for your account information. Fill in the fields with correct information.
Be careful, indicate the SMTP of your ISP. If you are using SBCGlobal, then make sure to enter AT&T.net in the ISP box.
Then click on "Test Account Settings". Outlook then tests the connection to the incoming mail server and sends a test message to the newly created address. When the test is complete, click Finish, click ‘Next’, and then ‘Finish’.

With that, you have successfully configured your Outlook 2007 and now, you will be able to receive emails without any issue. Should you come across any issue, then you can take the help of experts. The aforementioned process remains same for all emails, be it SBCGlobal email or any other email, so you can follow the steps and begin receiving your emails.

In case, you are unable to receive emails, then that could be due to a number of problems, such as,

The incoming mail server is incorrect

Solution: Take care to replace the existing record with the following record: mail.yoursite.com. Attention, replace "yoursite.com" by the name of your site.

The outgoing mail server (SMTP) is incorrect

Solution: Take care to replace the existing record with the SMTP of your ISP. If you do not know it already, search the search engines with the following query: “ISP name + SMTP server" or contact your ISP directly to obtain the SMTP.

User Name or Password is incorrect

Solution:

Username: Be sure to include your full email address.

Password: Enter the password that you have created at the time of signing up on the email. If you have forgotten the password, then click ‘forgot password’ to retrieve the password.

Once these checks are done, the connection should work normally
