  1. In Outlook Express, from the menu select Tools/Accounts.
    Outlook Express-Tools Menu
  2. Select the Mail tab if it is not already selected. The existing email accounts will show in the window below. Select Add/Mail. This will open up the Internet Connection Wizard.
    Outlook Express-Internet Accounts Window
  3. Enter the Display Name for the new account. (This is the name other people will see when you send them an email.) Click Next.
    Internet Connection Wizard-Display Name Screen
  4. Enter the email address in lower case letters. The email address will have the format of username followed by the @ sign followed by your domain name. Click Next.
    Internet Connection Wizard-Email Address Screen
  5. On the mail server screen, the wizard usually defaults to POP3. Check to make certain that it did.
    Internet Connection Wizard-Email Server Names Screen
  6. Enter the incoming mail server in lower case letters. The incoming mail server will match your domain name. eg   My web site is www.foxedge.net so my incoming mail server would be mail.foxedge.net.

  7. Enter the outgoing mail server in lower case letters. The outgoing mail server needs to match the mail server given to you by your ISP for your dial up account. If your ISP is QCI Internet, then your outgoing mail server will be mail.qcinet.net. Click Next.

  8. Enter the username and password in lower case letters. This will be for the mail account you are setting up, not for your dialup account. Click Next.
    Internet Connection Wizard-Logon Screen
  9. When you have entered the information correctly, click Finish on the final screen.
