Six
Step Program
for Configuring Outlook Express
Step #1
If Outlook Express is not already on your
computer, make sure you have first downloaded and installed Outlook
Express before proceeding. You can only download Outlook Express as
a bundled application with Internet Explorer.
Once the application is open and running,
go to "Tools", then select
"Accounts" from the pull-down
menu. You should now see a pop-up window labeled "Internet
Accounts".
From the pop-up window, select "Add",
then "Mail" from the top left
side of the window.
Step #2
You should see a pop-up window on your screen
labeled "Internet Connection Wizard".
This screen will be asking your name or your organization's name.
This name will show up on all mail sent from the e-mail address you
are setting-up. Fill out the requested information.
Step #3
The next pop-up window will ask for your internet
the e-mail address you are setting-up through Outlook Express.The
illustration below is what you should enter if you are setting up
your POP3 account.
Step #4
The next screen asks for your E-mail Server
Names. Follow the screen below and fill-in the fields exactly as shown
below. Make sure POP3 is selected for your incoming mail server.

|
mail.wonk.com |
|
|
|
smtp.wonk.com |
|

Step #5
The Internet Mail Logon screen will ask for
your login for this POP3 account, which is just you@yourdomain.com
for this POP3 account. After you enter this information, be sure to
enter your password. If you wish, Outlook Express will save your password
so you don't have to enter it each time. Make sure the "Remember
Password" box is checked if you wish to store your password.
Do NOT check "Log on using Secure
Password Authentication (SPA)".
You should see this to setup your new POP3
email account.
Step #6
You have just completed setting up this account
in Outlook Express, and should see the screen shot below! Be sure
to click on the "Finish"
button on the bottom.
