Let's get started:
1. Go to "Tools" in the top menu and click on "Accounts".
In the new window:
2. Click "add" and "mail".
3. Type in your display name in this screen. This will be the name or title that others see when they receive an email from you:
4. Click next, and in the new screen below type in your full email address and hit "next" again.
5. Specify your account type (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) in the drop down and type in your email name servers. (Quick Tip: Hotmail is always HTTP. Most other accounts running through OE are POP3 ... but if unsure you can probably get the information from within the "options" section of your webbased email account. It's usually listed under "POP3 Email" or "Remote Mail Settings".
You can also check our common servers list to see if your provider is listed there. Once you've typed in the info, click on next.
6. In the new screen, type in your account name and password. Check the box if you want OE to remember your password.
Usually the "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" can be left unchecked ... but again, check with your email provider. Click "next" . . . .
Congratulations!
7. You've just completed the set up of your email account in Outlook Express! You'll be able to send and receive your email from OE now instead of logging into some web-based place.
