EMAIL SETUP: OUTLOOK EXPRESS
The examples in this tutorial use "mail.domain.com" as the POP and SMTP
servers. When setting up your email account, use your Web site's domain name
in place of "domain.com". For example, if your domain name is "joesgarage.com" then
your mail servers would be "mail.joesgarage.com". Your email address would be
"yourname@joesgarage.com".
1. Open Outlook Express, go to the
"Tools" menu and click on
"Accounts ".
2. When the "Internet
Accounts" window appears, click on the
"Mail" tab. Click and hold on the
"Add" button, moving your pointer over the
"Mail..." label and release the mouse button.
3. The "Internet Connection
Wizard" dialog starts, begin filling out the information it
asks for: First, the name you want to appear on all your emails you
send to people.
4. Then enter in your email address.
5. Next, enter the email server information,
selecting 'POP3' as your Incoming mail server, and
adding 'mail.domain.com' as your Incoming/Outgoing
SMTP servers. NOTE: Your ISP may require you to use a different outgoing
SMTP server. Click here for more
information.
6. Now, enter your username and password
for your email account. Your username is your ENTIRE email address.
7. Click 'Finish'.
8. Now we are back to the "Internet
Accounts" window, and you should see new
account appear there (make sure you're still on the
"Mail" tab if it does not):
9. Click once on the account you just
created, then click on the "Properties" button. You
will see a window appear titled "mail.domain.com
Properties" that has many tabs along the top. Click on the
one that says "Servers". Verify that your settings
are the same as in the image below. NOTE: Your ISP may require you
to use a different outgoing SMTP server. Click here for
more information.
10. In that same window, click on the Settings button, then enter
your Account name and password. NOTE: Your ISP
may require you use a different SMTP server with authentication (log
in information) instead of your domain.
Click here for more
information.
11. Click "OK" at the bottom to save your settings. Click "Apply" to apply
your new settings and exit this screen.
