Creating an email account in Outlook Express |
|
Before attempting
to set-up your email boxes in Outlook Express, please make
sure you have created the mailboxes on the server through your
control panel. For more information on creating
mailboxes, click here.
To begin setting up your email boxes, make sure you are
connected to the Internet, and then launch Outlook Express. |
|
1) On the top
menu in Outlook Express click Tools to drop down the
Tools menu shown below.
|
 |
2) On the
Tools menu Click on Accounts to open the Internet
Accounts window shown below. |
|
 |
3) On the Internet
Accounts window, click Add to pop out the
side Menu and then select Mail to begin the Mail
Wizard shown below. |
|
 |
4)Enter your
Display Name. This is how your name will appear in
someone's email program when you send email to
them. After typing your name, click Next. |
|
 |
5) On the email
address line type the address you setup through your control
panel. Ex. If your domain name is mydomain.com and
you created a mailbox billy then the email address would be
billy@mydomain.com. When finished, click Next. |
 |
6) The first line
asks what type of incoming mail server you have. Our
mail servers are POP3 servers. This is generally the
default, however if something else appears click the down
arrow and select POP3 from the list. Your incoming and
Outgoing Mail servers are both yourdomain.com. Ex. for
the billy@mydomain.com mailbox we used as an example above,
the mail servers would be mydomain.com. When finished,
click Next. |
 |
7) On the Account
Name line enter the mailbox name you created in your control
panel. On the Password line enter the password you set
for this mailbox when you created it. This is NOT the
password into your website hosting account. It is the password
you set for the mailbox. When finished, click Next. |
 |
8) Click Finish and
your email box will be created in Outlook Express. |
