This tutorial will help you set up the Microsoft Outlook Express e-mail client to work with your e-mail account.
To Set Up Your E-mail Account in Microsoft Outlook Express
- In Outlook Express, select Tools & Accounts.
- Select "Add " and "Mail".
- Enter your name (can be anything meaningfull).
- Add an e-mail address (your nzart.org.nz Officer address), and click "next".
- Select "POP3" as the type of incoming server you are using. Your ISP or other account will have this.
In this example I am using my ISP Paradise Net for the example (incoming server is pop3.paradise.net.nz)
and my Outgoing Server is smtp.paradise.net.nz. Check with your ISP for this information.
Click Next.
- Enter your normal logon and password here. These are the ones supplied by your ISP.
These should be your User ID and password that were provided when you signed up with your ISP.
Click Next.
- Verify your account information and click Finish.
- So lets test this new email account out with our existing account - in other words lets send an email to ourselves as a test.
First though lets do a send and receive to make sure we have Outlook Express talking to our ISP's mail server.
Press "Send/Recv" .
- You should get no errors, if you do check your User ID and password.
- Now lets send ourselves that test email from our new account to our normal email account. click on "Create Mail".
- The you'll see a normal message window, with your default email address in the FROM field.
- By using the down arrow on the from field you can now select the new account we have created.
- Then write an email to yourself.
- Click on "send". Now wait a few moments or minutes, and do a "Send/Recv" and you should see this in your in box.
- All done.
- So to to send an email to all the NZART Officers, use the
email address.
