Outlook Express New Account Setup
We are going to setup a new account in Outlook Express. The first step is to open Outlook Express. Click on the Outlook Express icon to open the program. Then from the Tools option in OE, click on Accounts in the drop down menu. The New Account Wizard opens and we follow the prompts, using information provided by the ISP. ( Internet Service Provider) Just click on each of the figures on the side panel to see a large picture. The pictures are of the setup for a fictitious person named Stop Spam.
Sometimes the server information may be different, it could be like the screenshot or even something else, like pop3.isp.mail.net. Just use what your ISP gives you. If you are uncertain what it should be, contact your ISP for the exact information.
