Setting up Outlook Express with POP Mail:

POP Mail, or "real" email, is a far more reliable solution than email forwarding or even free online mail such as yahoo or hotmail.  Now that you've made the purchase, use the following steps to setup Outlook Express to retrieve and send your email.  On your computer be sure to replace “Your Name” and you@yourname.com with your email information.  These are only examples.

Step 1 :

Open Outlook Express and Select “Tools” from the menu bar.  Select “Accounts” from the pull-down menu.

Step 2:

Click on the "Mail" tab at the top.  On the right side, click the "Add" button and a popup menu will appear.  Click the "Mail" option in that menu.

Step 3:

The "Internet Connection Wizard" window will appear.  This wizard will walk you through each step of creating a new email account.  Enter your name (as you'd like it to appear on your email) and click the "Next" button at the bottom right.

Step 4:

Now enter your full email address.  Again, you and you@yourname.com are only examples used.  Be sure to replace you with your name and you@yourname.com with your email address.  Click "Next" to continue.

Step 5:

You will now be presented with a window that allows you to change your POP settings.  After the words "Incoming mail..." you will see a white box.  Click inside it and type "mail.secureserver.net".  After the words "Outgoing mail..." you will see another white box.  Click inside it and type "smtpout.secureserver.net".  Once the server addresses are entered, click "Next" to continue.

Step 6:

You will now need to enter your account name and password.  In the "Account name" field, type your full email address (in this case, you@yourname.com).  In the "Password" field, type your password.  If we have just signed you up, we assign your username as your password.  For example, you@yourname.com is the full email address and "you" is the password.  Click "Next" to continue.

Step 7:

Click Next, then Finish.  We need to adjust a couple more settings so go to the Tools drop-down menu and select accounts on the menu bar.  Highlight the account you just created and click the Properties button on the right.

Step 8:

Click the Servers tab at the top of the window.  Check the box to the left of "My server requires authentication".  Now click the Settings button to the right.

Step 9:

In this window, make sure that "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" is selected and click the OK button.

Step 10:

Now you should be back in the account properties window.  Click the Advanced tab at the top.  In the white box to the right of "Outgoing mail (SMTP)" there should be a number (most likely 25).  Change this number to 80 and click OK.

Step 11:

Now you will be back in the internet accounts window (shown below).  Click the Close button in the bottom right corner.  Your new email account is now setup!
