Open Outlook Express.

At this point, Outlook Express will either open to the summary screen, or it will open and pop up a wizard to help you setup your email account.

If you do not see the wizard:

At the top of the page click on the Tools menu and then select Accounts. Click on the Mail tab at the top. Click Add and then Mail.

Your Name

This is where you can choose what name will be displayed in the FROM area when you send an email. A good idea is to use your real name or business name (if this is a generic mailbox).

Replace with: Your Name

Click Next.

Congratulations

Click Finish.

If you are not there already, please go to the Tools menu, click Accounts and click on the Mail tab at the top. You should see your new account listed here. Select it and click Properties.

Click the Servers tab at the top.

At the bottom of the screen:

Outgoing Mail Server:
Put a checkmark beside My server requires authentication

Click on the Settings button to the right.
