Setting up an email account in Outlook Express is quite a
simple task, but seems to be one of the best kept secrets in
computing.The average computer user often calls a
technical support person to enter the email account settings for them.
However, if you have the correct information available, all you have
to do is fill the details in!!!
The information you will need to setup an email account on
Outlook Express
Your email address.
Your username. This is your username for your internet service
provider. Sometimes it can be your email address that they provide with
internet connection.
Your password. This will be a password for the above account.
Incoming mail server. This will be provided by your internet
service. For example: mail.bigpond.com
Outgoing mail server. Sometimes this is the same as the
incoming mail server.
How and where to enter this information:
If there are no previous accounts setup in Outlook Express
and you open the program, a account wizard will open. It will ask you to add
this information in. Make sure you have the exact spelling! (Including
Capitals etc.) One mistake and it will not work.
If there are previous accounts you need to open Outlook Express.
Then go to the menu at the top. Choose TOOLS>ACCOUNTS>ADD> Then choose MAIL.
This will open the wizard so you can fill in your information.
Hope this information helps. If you have any questions
contact me.
