Adding new email account in Outlook Express


To use Outlook Express to send and retrieve your emails you have to set up a new email account with your POP (Post Office Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) Servers using the preferences within the program.

A POP server is used to retrieve and an SMTP server is used to send mail. The respective server names will have been provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or email service, below are the steps to add new email accounts (POP and SMTP only) in Outlook Express.

If you already have settings then make a note of them before you change anything

First open the Outlook Express Program and then click on TOOLS at the top of your screen and then click on ACCOUNTS from the pull down menu.

Now click on ADD and then on MAIL as shown in fig 1.1 below:

Internet Account

You will now be presented with the Internet Connection Wizard dialogue box.

Now enter your name as you want it to appear on the emails you send in the box provided, then click the NEXT button.

Next enter your email address in the box provided and again click the NEXT button.

You will now see a dialogue box similar to that shown in fig 1.2 below:

Interenet Connection Wizard

Enter your POP server name in the first box and then enter your SMTP server name in the second box. Your ISP/email service would have provided this information (take care when entering these, and make sure they are correct), then Click the NEXT button.

You will now see a dialogue box similar to that shown in fig 1.3 below:

Internet Connection Wizard

Your account name should be automatically filled in, if not, then enter it (make sure it matches that provided by your ISP/email service).

Then enter your password, notice the REMEMBER PASSWORD option, if you want to use this feature then make sure the box next to the text has a tick in it.

Also if your ISP requires Secure Password Authentication then select the LOG ON USING SECURE PASSWORD AUTHENTICATION box.

Then Click the NEXT button.

Next simply click the FINISH button.

Now Outlook Express will be able to retrieve and send your emails
