To add an e-mail account to Outlook Express:
- Start Outlook Express.
- Choose "Accounts" from the Tools menu.
- The Internet Accounts window will open. The "Mail" tab should be selected by default.
If not, click the "Mail" tab.
- With the "Mail" tab selected it will show you any e-mail accounts that are currently
set up in Outlook Express.
- Click "Add" and select "Mail..." from the small flyout screen that appears on the right hand side.
Your Name
The Internet Connection wizard will appear to guide you through a series of
configuration steps for the e-mail address you want to add.
Type in a friendly name that will help you remember this e-mail address (such as
Harold's Mailbox or Mom's Mail) then Click "Next".
Internet E-mail Address

- Click "Next".
Email Server Names
- From the dropdown menu, select "POP3"
In the "Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server" field, enter: mail.[yourdomain]
(eg. if your domain is ozewebhost.com.au, then you would enter "mail.ozewebhost.com.au")
- In the "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server field, enter your dialup or broadband ISP's
(Internet Service Provider) outgoing mail settings. This will be similar to 'mail.bigpond.com',
'smtp.ozemail.com.au', 'mailhost.aol.com' etc. (if you are unable to locate this
information, you will need to contact your ISP and request details for "Outgoing
mail server".

you.
NB: DO NOT enter your dialup/broadband ISP user ID and/or password here!

password every time you check your email.
- Click "Next".
Congratulations

having them all beginning with 'mail.accountname.com.au', 'mail.wifesaccount.com',
etc.
