SETTING UP OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6 If you would like to add your email address to Outlook Express, follow the procedure below.
You can configure Outlook Express to check as many email addresses as you like.
To manually add email accounts in Outlook Express:
1. Open Outlook Express

2. Move to the Tools drop down menu and select Accounts

3. On the right side of the box select Add and then Mail

4. In the Display name box, enter your name as you would like it to be displayed when people receive a message from you, and click Next

5. In the Email address box, enter the email address for this account and click Next

6. Ensure that POP3 is selected in the "My incoming mail server is a" box then enter your server names in the boxes provided. Your incoming server name will start with "mail" and the rest will be your domain name i.e. mail.yourdomain.co.uk (note that domain names do not begin with www)
Your outgoing server will be that of your ISP

7. Enter the Account name and Password for this email account.
Use the full email address as the Account name

Your password will have been set for you by your ISP and sent by snail mail
8. Click "Finish."

That's it! Close your account settings and test out your new address by sending a message to it.
If you're able to send a message, and receive that same message in your new account, then you have successfully setup your first email account.
You can configure as many email accounts as your like in Outlook Express using the same above process. |
