Configuring Outlook Express
Configuring Outlook Express is a simple process and should only take about 5 minutes to compete. To make the process as easy as possible be certain to have the confirmation email you receive on hand aswell as the login information for the email address you want Outlook Express to check.The first step in configuring Outlook Express is to go to the "Tools" menu and then down to "Accounts"
After clicking the "Accounts" a small window will pop up. On this window you will see some tabs across the top, click on the "Mail" tab.
Next click on the "Add..." button on the right side of this window, a menu will open with 3 options. One of the options will be for "Mail.." select this menu option.
Outlook Express will now start asking you some questions regarding the new email account you wish to setup. Follow the instructions closely and enter the information carefully.
The first information you will enter will be the name you would like to have on your out going emails. Whether that be your full name or company name is up to you. We used a persons name in the example below to give you an idea of what to enter.
When you have finished entering the name, click "Next" to continue.
Next you will be asked for the full email address that you wish to check.
Click "Next" to conitnue.
On the next screen you will want to enter the incoming and out goingmail servers. For the incoming POP3 mail server you will want to enter "mail.mydomain.com" you will replace "mydomain.com" with your own domain name.
The outgoing mail server SMTP will need to be set to your ISP's out mail server. If you do not know what this is you will have to contact your ISP or check your ISP's technical support section on their website to get this information.
Click next to continue
On the next screen you will want to re-enter your email address and the password for the email account. Place a check mark next to "Remember password." so that you do not have to enter your password everytime you want to check your mail.
Click next to continue.
The last screen will be to congratulate you on setting up the email account.
Click "Finish".
Once you have click on the finish button you will be taken back to the first window and you will now see your new account listed. The only thing left to do is to close this window and then click on "Send and Recieve".
