Configuring your Microsoft Outlook
Express Email Client
- Activating your email account
Before you
proceed in configuring your email client, make sure you have created all
your email accounts through your web based control panel under email accounts.
After configuring
and activating your email account, you may then proceed to configure
your email client (eg. Eudora, Netscape Messenger, Outlook or Outlook
Express).
- Configuring Microsoft Outlook Express
In Microsoft Outlook Express, go to the Tools menu and
select ACCOUNTS.
Select the Mail tab.
Click the Add
button and select Mail.
Enter your full name when requested, then click on
'Next':
Enter your e-mail address. (Example email
:john@anything.com)
Click on Next to proceed.
Select POP3 for you incoming mail server.
In the
Incoming Mail (POP3) field, enter the POP or mail server that was
given to you. For example: If the domain you registered is
"www.yourdomain.com" then your incoming mail server would be
"mail.yourdomain.com".
In the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) field,
we highly recommend using the outgoing or SMTP server of your Internet
Service Provider (ISP). The reason is because you should experience
faster performance from your own ISP. In some cases, you will not be
able to use your ISPs SMTP server for sending out emails.
If
you are using our SMTP servers please be sure to set your outgoing mail
server to "mail.yourdomain.com" from within your email program
In the POP Account Name field, enter the login name you
created in the web based control panel. For example: If the user
name you created is "John" and the domain you registered for is
"www.anything.com"; your login name will be "john%anything.com"
Enter the password you use to register in your web
based control panel.
Click on Next to proceed.
Next, name your internet mail account any name you
want.
Click on Next to proceed.
Select "I will establish my internet connection manually".
Click on Next to finish configuring your email account.
Click Close. This completes the basic setup - you should
now be able to send and receive email in Microsoft Outlook Express.
