Configuring Outlook Express
Outlook Express is the email client that is included with Windows. It is a
pretty much straight forward application that allows you to communicate via
email.
1) Start by clicking on the Start button
2) Click on “All Programs”.
3) In the submenu that appears click on “Outlook Express”.
4) If Outlook Express has never been open or if there was another email
application set as the default, the following message will appear.
Select yes if it is the only email client you are going to use or if you want it
to be the default email application.
5) In this next box you want to type in the name you want displayed to the
recipients of the emails you send. Typically it is your first or full name.
Click on next.
6) The next dialogue box requires your email address. In this box you will
put the email address that was provided from your Internet Service Provider
(ISP). Click on next.
7) The next dialogue box is requesting the names of your ISP’s Mail
Servers. This info should be within the documentation provided by your ISP.
Once you have finished click on next.
8) In the next dialogue you need to enter your credentials. This also should
be in the documentation supplied by your ISP. Once the form has been
filled; click on next, then on finish.
