Setting Up Outlook
Express: |
|
|
|
1. |
Click the Start button. |
2. |
Point to All Programs. |
3. |
Click Outlook Express.
These first three steps are shown in the
image below:
Opening Outlook Express from the Start
menu
|
4. |
If asked whether you'd like to open this
particular account automatically every time
you start Outlook Express, click Yes
(if you do) or No (if you don't).
If you don't want to be asked this question
again, click to check the Always perform
this check... box. |
5. |
Check When Outlook Express starts, go
directly to my Inbox.
Outlook Express directs all incoming mail to
the Inbox, so it makes sense to bypass this
opening page.
If you don't see the list of folders and
contacts on the left, click Layout on
the View menu. Click Contacts
and Folder List to check them, and
then click OK.

Quick start.
You'll notice that when you use Outlook
Express regularly, Windows XP will put the
Outlook Express icon on the Start menu
(along with other programs you've used
recently). In that case, just click the
Outlook Express icon in the
Start menu to open the program. |

Up an Outlook Express E-Mail Account
The
Internet Connection Wizard makes short work of
setting up your online mailbox by walking you
through each step for every e-mail account you set
up.
1. |
Before you get going, make sure you know
your email address along with your password.
This is information about the e-mail
servers:
• |
The type of e-mail server you use:
POP3 |
• |
The name of the incoming e-mail
server: mail.erath.net |
• |
The name of the outgoing e-mail
server: mail.erath.net
|
Second, information about your account:
• |
Your account name will be your
username with @erath.net and your
password |
• |
|
|
2. |
Start Outlook Express, and on the Tools
menu, click Accounts.
If the Internet Connection Wizard starts up
automatically, skip ahead to step 4.
|
3. |
Click Add, and then click Mail
to open the Internet Connection Wizard.
Mail option from the Add button
|
4. |
On the Your Name page of the wizard,
type your name as you want it to appear to
everyone who gets e-mail from you, and then
click Next.
Most people use their full name, but you can
use any name—even a nickname—that people
will recognize. |
5. |
On the Internet Explorer Address
page, type your e-mail address, and then
click Next. |
6. |
On the E-mail Server Names page, fill
in the Incoming mail, and then click Next.
|
7. |
On the Internet Mail Logon page, type
your account name and password.

Mail Logon
Note: If you're concerned about
break-ins to your e-mail, click to clear the
check in the Remember Password box.
You'll then be prompted for the password
each time you send or retrieve mail.
|
8. |
Click Next, and then click Finish.
You're ready to send your first e-mail!
