Setting Up Outlook Express 6
Open Outlook Express. Click on Tools > Accounts.
On the Internet Accounts screen, click Add > Mail.
Now the Internet Connection Wizard should appear. Fill in
your name as you would like in the “From:” field to appear
in outgoing email messages. Then click Next.
Fill in your email address. Then click Next.
On the following screen, choose either POP3 or
IMAP for your mail server. Both are supported. For more
information on POP and IMAP protocols, see these links:
Your Incoming mail server should be mail.yourdomain.com,
where yourdomain.com is the domain you host with
Fuss & O'Neill Technologies.
If you do not have a domain, use mail.offsitenow.net.
Your Outgoing mail should be the same as above, but if you
have any problems, use your ISP’s outgoing server. Check
with them for details. Click Next.
Fill in the Account name as your
full email address, with @ and all. Fill in your
password, and, for convenience, you may want to check off
Remember password. Click Next.
The wizard is done. Click Finish. Next, you must
enable SMTP authentication.
Next, make sure your new mail account is highlighted in the
Internet Accounts window, then click Properties.
On the next screen, click Servers, and at the bottom, check
off the box next to My server requires authentication.
Then click Apply, then OK.
To get back to the main Outlook Express screen, click
Close on the Internet Accounts window. Your setup is
complete.
If you chose IMAP as your server type, you may get the
message above. Click Yes. If you chose IMAP and did
not get the message above, go to the next step.
Look to the left-hand side of the main Outlook Express
screen. Right-click on your new mail account. Then
left-click on Reset List. This should synchronize
your folders.
