How to set up email addresses in Outlook Express

You can connect to your mailbox using either the POP3 or IMAP protocols. As a rule of thumb it is better to use POP3 if only one computer accesses your mailbox, whilst it is better to use IMAP if you have a number of computers that will access your mailbox.

1. Click the Windows Start button in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen, then click All Programs. Find Outlook Express in the list of software and click it.
2. Outlook Express will open. Click the Tools menu, then click Accounts.
3. The Internet Accounts window will open. Click Add in the top right corner. Click Mail in the menu that appears. This will open the Internet Connection Wizard.
   Note: If it is the first time you have run Outlook Express on this computer, the Internet Connection Setup wizard may start automatically.
4. On the first screen of the Internet Connection Wizard, you'll be asked to enter a display name. This is what most email users will see in the inboxes instead of your email address. Enter your name, then click Next.
5. Enter your full email address. This made up of the mailbox name you chose, an @ symbol and your domain name.
   Example: jeff@yourdomain.co.uk When you have entered your email address, click Next.
6. On the E-mail Server Names screen, select POP3 or IMAP from the drop-down list.
   Enter mail.yourdomain.co.uk (replacing yourdomain.co.uk with your domain name) in the Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server text box.
   Contact your ISP for your SMTP details and enter them in the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server text box.
   When you have entered your mail server names, click Next.
7. On the Internet Mail Logon screen, enter your full email address in the Account name text box. If you enter just the mailbox name or your control panel username, this will not work.
   When you created the mailbox, you chose a password. Enter this in the Password text box.
   When you have entered your mailbox name and password, click Next.
   Important: The Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) should not be selected.
8. Click Finish and the mailbox will be added to Outlook Express.
9. You will be left at the Internet Accounts window.
10. Click the Mail tab, then double-click the email account you have just set up.
11. If your ISP's SMTP server requires username and password authentication, click the Servers tab and ensure the My server requires authentication check box is selected, then click OK.
12. Finally, click the Tools menu, then click Options. Set how often you want Outlook Express to check your mailbox for new mail in the Check for new messages text box. Click OK and your new email account is now ready to use.
