The Internet Connection
Wizard makes short work of setting up your online mailbox by walking you
through each step for every e-mail account you set up.
1.
|
Before
you get going, make sure you know your email address along with the
following information. (You may need to contact your ISP, Internet Service
Provider, to get it.)
First, information about the
e-mail servers:
The type of e-mail
server you use: POP3 (most e-mail accounts)
|
The name of the
incoming e-mail server
|
For POP3 servers, the
name of the outgoing e-mail server (generally SMTP)
|
Second, information about your account:
Your account
name and password
|
2.
|
Start Outlook Express, and on the Tools menu, click Accounts.
If the Internet Connection
Wizard starts up automatically, skip ahead to step 4.
|
3.
|
Click Add, and then click Mail to open the Internet
Connection Wizard.
|
4.
|
On the Your Name
page of the wizard, type your name as you want it to appear to everyone who
gets e-mail from you, and then click Next.
Most
people use their full name, but you can use any name—even a
nickname—that people will recognize.
|
5.
|
On the Internet Explorer Address page,
type your e-mail address, and then click Next.
|
6.
|
On the E-mail Server Names page, fill
in the first block of information that you gathered from your ISP in step
1, and then click Next.
|
7.
|
On the Internet
Mail Logon page, type your account name and password.
Note: If you're concerned about
break-ins to your e-mail, click to clear the check in the Remember Password box. You'll
then be prompted for the password each time you send or retrieve mail.
|
8.
|
Click Next,
and then click Finish.
You're ready to send your first
e-mail!
