How to setup an Outlook Express Account

   

To check your mail account setup, Click on Tools in Outlook Express and scroll down to Accounts...

Click Accounts...

--> Next Step

 

Under the Mail Tab, Highlight the mail account you wish to edit. Click on the Properties button.

--> Next Step

 

 

 

The General Tab lists the Name and Organization that is included in your email. The Mail Account is just the name that shows up on the previous screen capture.

Note: Checking Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing will make outlook check this account as well as any other account you have set.

--> Next Step

 

 

 

The Servers Tab lists the server information for this email account. Set Incoming mail (POP3) and Outgoing mail (SMTP) servers to

mail.YourDomainName.com

Fill in the Incoming Mail Server information with your account name and password.

By clicking on the Remeber password checkbox, Outlook Express will not prompt for a password everytime it checks for new mail.

It is very important to check the "My Server requires authentication" checkbox. Otherwise you will not be able to send emails using this account.
