your Outlook Express program to check all your email
and other email accounts all at once. Here is the process
for setting up Outlook

click "Accounts"
3. A Box appears, click on "Add" button in the
upper right. then click "Mail"

here....has no effect on the email performance)
5. 2nd Screen - Email Address (enter in all lowercase your
email address)
6. 3rd Screen - Select POP3 from the top drop down menu.
Enter in the following for both "incoming" and
"outgoing" mail server names: mail.mydomain.com
but be sure to replace "mydomain.com" with
your actual domain name
7. 4th Screen - Account Name (Type in all lowercase the
first part of your email address. For example, if your email
address is john@mydomain.com
you would enter in only "john" (without the
quotes)
Next enter in the password. Make sure "Remember
password" check box located below this is
checked. Leave the box at the bottom for connecting via
secure connection empty. Click
the finish button.
8. The final step is setting up authentication. With this
"Account" screen still open (If it is not open, go
back to step #2), click the "Properties" tab on
the right hand side then click "Servers". At the
bottom of the "servers screen" is a checkbox
you need to check. It says "My server requires
authentication..."
follow ALL these steps above to set up additional email
accounts in Outlook Express. To compose emails via outlook
express, simply click the button at the top "create
mail". To receive email, simply click the "Send/Recv
All" button at the top. This will check mail for all
your email accounts you have set up in Outlook.
