Follow along this wizard to set up your new e-mail account.
The first screen prompt will ask you for a Display name. The Display name is a name that
will appear in the E-mail you send out. When people
receive your e-mail, they will see what you type in this
section in the From section of Outlook Express. It doesn't
matter if you type in all caps or lower case.
The next screen prompt handles your Internet E-mail Address. Click on the first option and then type in your
e-mail address. Once you have finished, click the Next button.
The next screen prompt to
appear will be E-mail Server Names. The first box is defaulted to POP3. POP3 stands
for Post Office Protocol version 3. This is the type of server
that we use. Make sure the box has POP3 selected. In
the incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server section, you
need to type in mail.yourdomainname.com. This must be
in all lower case; no spaces. In the outgoing mail (SMTP)
server section, you need to type in
smtp.yourdomainname.com. This must be in all lower
case; no spaces. Once you are finished with that section,
click the Next button to continue.
Next is the Internet Mail Logon
screen prompt. POP account name is your E-mail user
name (for this example username is the E-mail username). You
must type in all lower case for this section. Password
is the E-mail password for this E-mail
user name This section also needs to be in all lower
case if you use letters for your password. Make sure that
there are no spaces also. Log on using Secure Password
Authentication (SPA) should not be selected. Click
the Next button to continue.
In the Internet mail account name box, enter a "friendly name" for your
account. This can be anything you want. If setting up multiple accounts you
may want to give each account a slightly different name, i.e.
"Yourdomain.com-Bob", "Yourdomain.com-Mary" etc. Click
Next to continue.
The next screen will ask you to specific your Internet connection. Select Connect
using my phone line. Click Next to continue.
