Outlook
Express Wizard POP 3 Guide
Open
Outlook Express and choose "Tools" from the menu
bar.
Choose "Accounts" and click on the mail tab when the "Internet Accounts" manager
window appears.
Click on the "Add" button and then on "Mail". The Internet Connection
Wizard will walk you through the setup process.
First, it will ask for a display name. Normally your mail has these headers:
To: someone@somewhere.com
From: JohnD@mydomain.com
Choosing a display name of "John Doe" will result in these headers on
your outgoing mail:
to: someone@somewhere.com
from: John Doe <JohnD@mydomain.com>
Next, the wizard asks for your email address that you want people to reply to.
Typing JohnD@mydomain.com here would result in the above headers on your
outgoing mail.
Next you are asked for your server information. Your incoming mail server is
a POP3 and its name is your domain name: mail.mydomain.com.
We recommend using the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server of
your ISP (Internet Service Provider), but if that fails to operate properly,
you may use your domain's
mail.mydomain.com here instead.
Next is your account ID on our system. We provide you with a userid and password for
each email we set up for you. Enter your password and ID, do NOT choose SPA and
click next.
Next,
it will ask for an account name that Outlook
Express will use to refer to this particular account,
you can choose whatever you want i.e.: "My Business
Account".
If
you log onto your ISP and then check your mail, choose "I
will establish connection manually".
If
you want Outlook Express to dial into your ISP for
you, then choose "Connect using my phone line".For
this, you will need to contact your ISP for instructions
on configuring your dialer.
Click
on "Finish" and then on "Close".
Now
to retrieve your mail, in the Outlook Express window,
choose "Tools" from the menu bar.
Then
select "Send and Receive".
Some
releases of Outlook Express contain an error that prevents
you from sending out email. If you experience this
problem, please

the problem. |
