Setting up Microsoft Outlook Express E-mail Client Program
- Activating
your email account
Before you proceed in configuring your email client, make sure you have created
all your email accounts through your web based control
panel under email
accounts.
After configuring and activating your email account, you may then proceed
to configure your email client (eg. Eudora, Netscape Messenger, Outlook or
Outlook Express).
- Configuring
Microsoft Outlook Express
In Microsoft Outlook Express, go to the Tools menu and select ACCOUNTS.
Select the Mail tab.
Click the Add button and select Mail.
Enter your full name when requested, then click on 'Next':
Enter your e-mail address. (Example email :john@anything.com)
Click on Next to proceed.
Select POP3 for you incoming mail server.
In the Incoming Mail (POP3) field, enter the POP or mail server that
was given to you. For example: If the domain you registered is "www.yourdomain.com"
then your incoming mail server would be "mail.yourdomain.com".
In the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) field, we highly recommend using the outgoing
or SMTP server of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The reason is because
you should experience faster performance from your own ISP. In some cases,
you will not be able to use your ISPs SMTP server for sending out emails.
If you are using our SMTP servers please be sure to set your outgoing mail
server to "mail.yourdomain.com" from within your email program. Also,
please aware that in order to send email though our servers you must have
successfully checked your account within the past 60 minutes. Once you have
checked your mail, you will be able to send mail for the next 60 minutes.
We have our server setup this way so that spammers cannot access our smtp
servers so easily. Otherwise spammers could relay their bulk mail through
your account and send out millions of emails. Not only is spamming illegal
in some states, but it is also a recipe for degrading the server performance.
In the
POP Account Name field, enter the login name you created in the web
based control panel. For example: If the user name you created is "John"
and the domain you registered for is "www.anything.com"; your login name will
be "john%anything.com"
Enter the password you use to register in your web based control
panel.
Click on Next to proceed.
Next, name your internet mail account any name you want.
Click on Next to proceed.
Select "I will establish my internet connection manually".
Click on Next to finish configuring your email account.
Click Close. This completes the basic setup - you should now be able
to send and receive email in Microsoft Outlook Express.
