| How to
setup your email account
using Outlook Express |
| |
| |
| The first thing to do
to configure your Email client (program or software) is
to identify it.
There are 2 ways to get to this on most systems. ,
|
|
The first is
an icon on the desktop |
 |
| |
|
 |
the second
is a quick link icon on the start bar. |
|
| |
| Once you have the
client opened, click the 'Tools' button - located at the
top of your e-mail client. |
|
 |
| |
| Click on the
'Accounts...' selection. |
|
 |
| |
| Below is the screen
that you will see. On the right hand side there is a
button called 'Add', click it and then click on the
'Mail' selection. |
|
 |
| |
| This is the name that
people will see (like a return address name on an
envelope) when they receive an Email from you. You may
place anything you want in here. Example: nickname,
first name, whole name |
|
 |
| |
| This is the point
where you put in your Email address. Your Email address
consists of your username + your domain name as in the
example below. |
|
 |
| |
| This is the Email
server name. it is very important that you put these in
here exactly as shown, otherwise the mail will neither
be deliverable nor will you receive any. |
|
 |
| |
This is where you
place your account information for logon purposes. This
info allows your Email Client to connect to the account
on the server.
It is very
important that you use the right info, or you will not
be able to connect. The account name should be your
exact email address. Mistakes in spelling, or
adding spaces or capital letters will cause this to
malfunction. |
