How To Set Up Your E-mail Account in Outlook Express
- In Outlook Express, goto Tools > Accounts...
- Click the Mail tab.
- Click the Add button, and select Mail...
- Enter your name & click Next.
- Enter your email address.
- Enter the incoming & outgoing mail servers (mail.yourdomain.com) & click Next.
Example: If your domain is wesellhomes.com, your mail servers would be mail.wesellhomes.com
- In the Account name field, enter your full email address and then enter the password. You may uncheck the Remember password box if you wish, but you'll have to enter it every time you check your mail. Click Next.
- Click Finish. This is the last required step, but if you check this email account from more than 1 computer and want to access the same messages from both computers, you may want to follow steps 9 & 10.
- You should be back at the screen below. Select your mail account & click Properties.
- Click the Advanced tab. At the bottom, click Leave a copy of messages on server.
It's recommended that you also check the next box, Remove from server after x days, to prevent your mailbox from becoming full. Up to 30 days should be fine.
