Using your email accounts

12. Setting up Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0

1. When Outlook Express Starts click Tools -> Accounts.

2. Inside the "Internet Accounts Windows" click Add -> Mail.

3. Fill in your full email address. Click Next.

4. Click "I already have an e-mail address that I'd like to use" and fill in your full email address. Click Next.

5. On the "Email Servers Name" page, fill in the server information. "Incoming mail POP3 server" is mail.yourdomain.com. Substitute YOUR domain name where yourdomain.com is shown here. The Outgoing Mail (SMTP) can either be the same (mail.yourdomain.com) or it can be the SMTP server that belongs to your ISP (see http://support.metapros.net/faq/10.13.html). Click Next

6. Put in your MAILBOX name in the account name field, and the password that was entered for that mailbox. Enter only the mailbox name (i.e. "webmaster") and not the full email address. If you're not sure of the mailbox name or the password, visit the "Mail Manager" section of your hosting account's Account Manager. Click Next.

7. Click Finish.
