Step 1:
For each of your e-mail accounts, find the type of e-mail account (POP3, IMAP or HTTP), the name of the incoming mail server (example: mail.isp.com) and the name of the outgoing, or SMTP, mail server (example: smtp.isp.com). This information can usually be found in the provider's FAQ (frequently asked questions) file or by e-mailing the provider.
Step 2:
Start Outlook Express.
Step 3:
Select Accounts from the Tools menu. Click on the Mail tab.
Step 4:
Click Add on the right side of the box and choose Mail. The Internet Connection Wizard will appear.
Step 5:
Type the display name for the account (the name that appears in the From line of e-mail sent from that account). Click Next.
Step 6:
If you already have the new account, click the top radio button. Enter the name of the account and click Next.
Step 7:
Type the mail server information you collected in the first step. Be sure to type the information as it appears in your notes. Click Next.
Step 8:
Type the user name as it appears on the account. The name is usually what precedes the address; for example, the account name of feedback@ehow.com is "feedback."
Step 9:
Type the password to access the account. If the password is incorrect or you can't remember it, contact the e-mail provider.
Step 10:
Check the Remember Password box if you don't want Outlook to prompt you for the password each time it checks the mail.
Step 11:
Click Finish. Repeat as needed for all e-mail accounts.
Step 12:
Edit account properties by clicking on the name and choosing Properties from the list on the right.
