Outlook Express Email Setup

1. Start Outlook Express
   
   
2. Enter your display name
   A prompt will appear when you start up for the first time, asking you to enter a name that you can use to allow people to identify you when you send email. This name will appear next to the email address when sent.
   
   
3. Enter your email address
   Enter your email address that you wish to use with Outlook Express. This will be the email address provided by your email service provider.
   e.g. you@yourdomain.com
   e.g. billy@ncsl.ca
   
   
4. Enter your incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) server names
   The first requirement will be the incoming server name. This will be your domain, plus pop with a period (pop.) written before the domain.
   e.g. pop.yourdomain.com
   e.g. pop.ncsl.ca
   The second requirement will be the outgoing server name. This will be similar to your incoming server name, except instead of pop you will use smtp.
   e.g. smtp.yourdomain.com
   e.g. smtp.ncsl.ca
   
   
5. Enter your account name and password
   This will be where you enter the account name and password which has been provided for you. Also, do NOT check the check box asking if you want to log in using SPA.
   
   
6. Congratulations
   Click finish to save the settings. Now you are ready to read your email.
