Outlook Express is an e-mail and news client included in versions of Microsoft Windows from Windows 95 OSR-2 to Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). It is also bundled with Internet Explorer, and available for the classic Apple Macintosh operating system. Microsoft Entourage, which is sold as part of Microsoft Office for Macintosh, has replaced Outlook Express for Mac OS X.
Outlook Express is the successor of Microsoft Internet Mail and News, an early e-mail client add-on for Internet Explorer 3.0. In October 2005, Microsoft announced that Windows Vista would include a new application named Windows Mail, effectively discontinuing Outlook Express. Microsoft is also developing Windows Live Mail Desktop, a replacement for Outlook Express in Windows XP and a superset of Windows Mail in Windows Vista.
Here is how to configure Outlook Express for your e-mail accounts:
1. In Outlook Express, go to the Tools menu. Click on Accounts.
2. A window will appear. Click Add and select Mail.
3. On the wizard page, enter your Display name in the field and click Next.
Note: This e-mail will appear when you send out e-mails.
4. On the page that shows, enter your E-mail Address and click Next to proceed.
5. Do the following:
-In the drop-down box, choose POP3 as your incoming server;
-Enter the Mail Server Name for both Incoming Mail and Outgoing Mail;
-Click Next to proceed.
6. Next, enter your e-mail address for the Account Name. Enter the password you set for this account. Note: Do NOT check the box Log on using Secure Password Authentication.
7. Click Next and then click Finish. After you click Finish, you should see the following window. If not, go to the Tools menu, and click on Accounts. After clicking Accounts the window will appear. In this window, click on your domain until it is highlighted, then click on Properties.
8. When the next screen appears, click on the Servers tab. Under Outgoing Mail Server, check the box next to My server requires authentication. Click OK. Note: You MUST do this step so you can send mail from your domain.
9. On the Outgoing Mail Server window you can:
- use the same settings as incoming server;
- enter account name and input another password for outgoing e-mail.
Note: Check Remember password if you don't want to enter password each time you send out an e-mail.
10. Click OK. Back on the Properties page, click Apply and OK to save settings and then close all dialog boxes.
Now, you're ready to send and receive mail. To set up multiple accounts, follow these steps again.
