Setting up new email accounts in Outlook Express

Here are the steps you need to follow for setting up an email account in Outlook Express.
Note: When you open Outlook Express for the first time, you might be asked if you want to set it as a default email client on your system. Make sure you answer in the affirmative.

1. Start Outlook Express. Click on Tools in the menu bar and then go to Accounts

2. This brings up the Internet Accounts pop-up window. Click on the Mail tab, to bring it to the front if it is not already so. If you are starting Outlook Express for the first time, there would not be any email accounts listed on this window.

3. To add a new mail account, click on the Add button and then on Mail as shown in the image below.

4. This brings up the Internet Connection Wizard pop-up window. Enter your name in the Display Name field and click on the Next button.

5. The wizard now asks for your email address. Enter the full email address and click on the Next button.

6. In the next window, you need to feed in three important bits of information - the incoming and outgoing email servers and the type of the incoming email server.

The incoming email server is POP3. The incoming and outgoing email servers should be mail.yourdomain.com.

7. The last information that you need to enter to complete the setup of the new account is the Account Name (your full email address) and Password for that email account. Fill them in and click on the Next button.

8. In the following window, click on the Finish button to complete the process of setting up a new email account in Outlook Express.

9. You will now see the new email account has been added to the Accounts list. If not, go to the Tools menu, and click on Accounts. After clicking Accounts the window below will appear. In this window, click on your domain until it is highlighted, then click on Properties.

10. When the next screen appears, click on the Servers tab. Under Outgoing Mail Server, check the box next to My server requires authentication. Click Okay. Note: You MUST do this step so you can send mail from your domain.
