EMAIL SET UP

Setting up your email in Outlook or Outlook Express. Once an email has been set up for you, you need to set it up as an account in your outlook or outlook express in order to be able to use it. You can have more than one account, each one needs to be set up seperatly. Instructions are below. These are instructions for Outlook, but Outlook Express is very similar.

Step #1: From the tool bar choose TOOLS/ACCOUNTS. A wizzard will pop up choose View or Change an existing account. (or choose the wizard and go through the questions one at a time). This is what that area looks like, choose ADD from there.

Here's the information you will put in. If we are setting up your account on our server, we will send your user name and password, plus incomming mail server. The outgoing mail server can be set to that of your own internet service provider. If you choose to set it up with your internet provider's settings, please check with them. If you have an existing email account set up, you will find it there. Or you may have to call the company you get service from (in a lot of cases you will find this info on their website).
If you click on the MORE SETTINGS button above, here are what the other tabs should be set at Note: if you can't get your email to send, aren't able to establish what your host providers outgoing server is, or travel a lot with a laptop. Set your outgoing server to the same as the incoming server, and in the advanced tab, set the port to 26.

You can actually have several email accounts all being pulled into your outlook. There's one that's the default, it's the one that is automatically used when you hit new email. When you want to send an email to someone regarding from other than the default, write the email, and when ready to send, click to the right of the send button (there's an arrow there) and choose the appropriate account. If you reply to somone who's emailed you at that account, it's automatically chosen for the reply.

The mail gets pulled in to your computer, and it's easier to file/sort, set spam settings etc. If you are travelling, and want to check any new mail, you have access to what's called webmail. You would go to www.yourdomain.com/webmail (insert your own domain name). Click on the Continue to this site link.
