In this article you will learn how to configure your E-mail client using the Outlook Express E-mail client that accompanies the Internet Explorer browser. You will use the Connection Wizard to enter your basic E-mail information and then use the Properties dialog to complete and verify the data entered.

1. From the Outlook Express menu select Tools>Accounts

2. From the Internet Accounts dialog box select Mail and you will begin the process using the Connection Wizard for entering your basic E-mail information:

3. Choose a name that will be used to identify your E-mail account

4. Enter the E-mail address you want to use for this account

5. You enter your incoming and outgoing E-mail servers names here

6. Enter the E-mail address as the account name and use the password that was assigned to you by your account administrator.  If you are the administrator, use the name you chose when you set-up the account.

7. That's all to the Connection Wizard.

8. The following steps are used to verify that all the information you entered is correct. You may change/edit any information by selecting the appropriate tab from the Properties box, starting with the General tab.

9. Note that most outgoing mail Servers now require authentication to avoid someone else "spoofing" your E-mail account.

10. If you use DSL or Cable select the Local Area Network option for your Internet Connection.

You are now ready to test that your E-mail account works properly.

That's it.
