Set-up an email account in Outlook Express

1. Please read and complete all steps on this document.

For this example we are using Outlook Express 5. Later versions may vary slightly but the main settings will remain the same. Please contact us if you are having any problems following this document.

2. Make sure that you know the complete email address that you are going to set-up. In this example we use " This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it " but your real address might actually be something like " This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it " or whatever you have requested to use.

3. Do you have an email address set-up on this computer already? If yes it should be an email address that is used for your current ISP dial-up account? Eg. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

• a) If YES. You must first find out what your outgoing mail server setting is for that account. You can do this by simply selecting ACCOUNTS from the TOOLS menu, highlight the email account in the list (you might only have one) then click the PROPERTIES button. Click the SERVERS tab and copy the information in the OUTGOING mail server section. It will look something like "mail.m.iinet.net.au" To copy this simply highlight the info, right click and select copy. This will be pasted in a later point.
• b) If NO. If you are connected to the Internet then you should have an ISP you connect with. This ISP will have an "Outgoing Mail Server" that you will need to find out. If this is not possible then please contact Mediart directly for the advanced settings required to finalise this account. Do not continue.

4. Open Outlook Express and once it is open click on "TOOLS / ACCOUNTS" from the menu options up the top. This will open a new box displaying all the mail accounts you have set-up on your computer.

5. Click on the "ADD" button and pick "MAIL" from the cascade list.

6. Type in your full name and click "NEXT>"

7. Choose "I already have an e-mail address that I'd like to use" and put your full e-mail address in the box. " This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it " Click "NEXT>"

8. Make sure that your incoming mail is set to POP3 from the drop down menu. Now set your incoming mail server settings to "mail.yourdomain.com.au" (making sure you change this to conform to your domain name). The outgoing mail server should be your ISP's mail server setting. This is where you can paste in what you copied earlier. Click "NEXT>"

9. Very important! Your "Account Name" will be the full email address that has been created for you… eg. " This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it " and your Password will be what we have supplied you. Click "NEXT>" and "FINISH".
