Set Up an Outlook Express E-Mail Account

The Internet Connection Wizard makes short work of setting up your online mailbox by walking you through each step for every e-mail account you set up.

1. Before you get going, make sure you know your email address along with the following information.

First, information about the e-mail servers:

• The type of e-mail server you use:    -   POP3 
• The name of the incoming & outgoing e-mail server   -   mail.atu1572.org  

Second, information about your account:

• Your account name and password   <user.name>@atu1572.org

 
   
2. Start Outlook Express, and on the Tools menu, click Accounts.

If the Internet Connection Wizard starts up automatically, skip ahead to step 4.

 
3. Click Add, and then click Mail to open the Internet Connection Wizard.

8. Click Next, and then click Finish.

 

Next- Open Tools and then Accounts

Select your e-mail Account and click on Properties

 

You can rename this account to whatever you want.

 

Make sure the box is checked for My Server Requires Authentication

 

SMTP - 26
POP3 - 465 or 110

DELIVERY
If you will be reading your e-mail from more than 1 computer, you may want to check the box for Leave a copy of message on server.  And check box for Remove from server after  and select the number of days.  This will allow the e-mail to remain on the server so that you can check your e-mail from another computer and the message will still be there.  This is handy if you use both a laptop and a desktop.

If this is the only computer you'll  be reading your email from, do nothing to the delivery boxes.

 

Webmail - You may also read your e-mail from a link to webmail which can be found at the bottom on the home page www.atu1572.org

FAQ

Q - I can receive my mail but cannot send.

A - Many internet service providers (ISP's) such as Bell and Rogers will not let you send e-mail using a SMTP other than theirs.  In this case, you must send using your ISP's mail service.  Your settings and POP will be as indicated as above except for the SMTP setting.

Either check the account properties for your ISPs SMTP settings and enter those or call your ISP for the settings.
Also, when you check box for server requires authentication, click on settings.
Check box for Log on using and use the log on credentials from your ISP for their SMTP.
