To
add an e-mail account, you'll need to know the type of e-mail
server you use (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP), your account name and
password, the name of the incoming e-mail server and, for POP3
or IMAP and the name of an outgoing e-mail server. (The most
common are pop3 email accounts)
Open Outlook Express. Go to the very top, left area and On the
"Tools" menu, click "Accounts".
Now a small window pops up. This new window is the [Internet
Accounts] window. Click on the "MAIL" tab at the top,
left area of this new window, then move your mouse to the right
and in this same window, click on the "Add" button,
then "Mail". At this point, another new window pops
up. This is the [Internet Connection Wizard] window. In the
Display name, type in the email address or a name that would
relate to the email address that you are trying to setup like
sample@yourdomainname.com , then click "Next"
button.
In
this next window, you will be filling in the long white rectangles
with POP3 and SMTP Server information. In the POP3 area, type:
mail.yourdomainname.com .
{your domain name}.{com, or net, etc} and the same for the SMTP
area, type: mail.yourdomainname.com .
{your domain name}.{com, or net, etc} . {yourdomainname} refers
to the name of the domain that is registered to you, like dollaradaywebsites.
Now click "Next" button.
On
this Internet Mail Logon area and in the long white rectangles,
put in your account name, a plus sign (+)
then your domain name with the .com or .net, etc. When you are
done, it should look like this: sample+yourdomainname.com
. . Replace {sample} for your
actual account name and {yourdomainname} for your actual domain
name. Don't forget the + sign in between the account name and
the domain name. Also don't forget the . (dot) and then com
or net, etc without any spaces in between. You will also need
to put in your password in the long white password rectangle
that was assigned to your email address created by Dollar A
Day Websites. Don't forget to click on and select "Remember
Password". Now click "Next" button.
You
have now created your new email account. But, we need to go
back into the account and make some final adjustments.
In
the [Internet Account] small window that should still be open,
you will need to make sure that the account that you just created
on left area of window is selected (Highlighted), then on the
right side of this same window, click on the "Properties"
button.
In
the new [Properties] window that just popped up, on the GENERAL
tab, at the top, under [Mail Account] you will want to make
sure that the name of this account is correct as sometimes the
name changes to the same name that you put into the POP3 area
in one of the previous proceedures. It should be the same as
your exact email name i.e. sample@yourdomainname.com
or what ever your account name is @ what ever your domain name
is. The rest of the information should be filled out at this
time in this area. Name, Organization, Email address and Reply
address. At the very least, the Mail Account name, Name, and
Email Address should be filled in. Don't forget to click and
select that you want to Include this account when receiving
mail or synchronizing.
Now
click on the SERVERS tab in the same [Properties] window and
verify that all of your information is correct. Also verify
that "Remember password" has been selected. At the
lower area of this Server Infomation, you will see the area
for the Outgoing Mail Server. You will want to click on "My
server requires authentication". Next, click on "Settings"
button and a new window pops up. Make sure that the little circle
is selected that says... "Use same settings as my incoming
mail server", then click "OK".
Optional
proceedure below:
and
while you are still in the [Properties] window, go to the "ADVANCED"
tab, and make sure that your outgoing mail (SMTP) is set to
(25). DO NOT click select where is says: This server requires
a secure connection (SSL). Also make sure that your Incoming
mail (POP3) is set to (110). DO NOT click select where is says:
This server requires a secure connection (SSL). Server timeout
should be set to 1 minute; Sending should be unselected; Delivery
can be set if you want to leave a copy of your important messages
on your mail server so you can refer back to them at a later
time. To to this, click select "Leave a copy of messages
on server. Also click select "Remove from server when deleted
from 'Deleted Items'".
CLICK
"APPLY", THEN "OK"
On
the [Internet Accounts] window you may now click on the "Close"
button.
YOU
HAVE NOW COMPLETED SETTING UP YOUR OUTLOOK EXPRESS EMAIL.
Important
Note:
IF
YOU LEAVE YOUR MESSAGES ON THE SERVER, PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR
EMAIL ACCOUNTS ADD UP WITH TOO MANY EMAILS. KEEP A LIMIT OF
NO MORE THAN 300 PER ACCOUNT.
