Setup Outlook Express 5
For this example, substitute whatever your domain name is wherever you see 'yourdomain.com'. For example, if you were setting up email for pcmojo.com, you would subsititute pcmojo.com for 'yourdomain.com'.

1. Start Outlook Express. From the Tools menu, choose Accounts

2. Click on the Mail tab. 

3. If there is already an account listed, click here to check your settings. If there is no account listed, click on the New button and choose Mail

4. Enter your name for the Display name and click Next. 

5. Select "I already have an e-mail address I'd like to use" and enter your email address (such as username@yourdomain.com) and click Next. This is the username you would use to sign on with ftp or administer your site and is the one you set up yourself or had PC Mojo set up for you.

6. Use the following settings:
     . Select POP3 for the server.
     . Type mail.yourdomain.com for the Incoming mail server.
     .
Type mail.yourdomain.com for the Outgoing mail server.

     ...then click Next.

 

7. Use the following settings for Internet Mail Logon:
     . For the Account name, enter your username. (The part before the @ sign
       in your email address).
     . For the password, enter the password you selected when signing up or
       adding the account through web administration. If you would prefer to be
       prompted for your password each time you check your email for additional
       security, leave the password blank and uncheck 'Remember password'.

     ...then click Next and then Finish to complete the setup..

 

Verify your settings with these screenshots

1. From the Tools menu, choose Accounts

2. Click on the Mail tab. 

3. Select your account and click the Properties button. 


Mail Account is the name that you will use to keep track of this account. You can make up anything you like, make it descriptive. Nobody else will see this.

Name will show up when you send email instead of your email address. Depending on the email program your receiver is using, they may just SEE your name, but they will be able to reply to your email address with no trouble.

Organization is optional. You may wish to put your company name in here.

E-mail address is, of course, your email address.

Reply address is optional. If you would like people to reply to a different email address than the one you used to send your email you would enter that here.

Incoming mail (POP3) is always mail.yourdomain.com

Outgoing mail (SMTP) is always mail.yourdomain.com

Account name is your user name, and the same as your email address BEFORE the @ sign (username@yourdomain.com).

Password is your password. 

If you have more than one way to connect to the internet, select the connection you'd like to use to send and receive email from the drop down box after checking the Always connect to this account using box.

Leave this stuff alone. If you have the need to use security with this email account, check with your system administrator to get the necessary settings.

Leave these settings alone too. Again, if you have a firewall or other security measures in place that require you to fiddle with port settings and SSL, check with your system administrator to get the right settings.

Click OK to save everything and you're ready to rumble.
